I used to have a weight chart that listed Tire profiles - weight ratings and air pressures and for a certain gross vehicle weight of a bike.....

But alas...
Does anyone have these specs....?

I thought it was for every 50 lbs add 1 lbs of Air .....

Does this sound about right?

ex... 120/70 front 30 psi cold add 150 lbs passenger up psi to 33 psi
160/60 rear at 29 psi add 3 lbs to 32 psi (Tire pressures may seem low but it gets HOT here)

or is it just in the rear tire... ? Dam i hate getting old...

Here's Metzeler's opinion on tire pressures, your bike mfg opinion should be on a decal on the bike somewhere.

i would love to ride rt. 1 some day. i'm on the wrong coast though.

I put a dunlop D208 on the back and found the PSI they put on the tire was way to high. It would take a long time to warm them up and I would end up spinning them a lot. I dropped the pressure about 6 PSI and they have been pretty good.
