Pirelli SL26 3.50-10 Tire Proper PSI

Hi,


I wanted to share some information with the site about Pirelli SL26 3.50-10 tires. There is tons of information about proper PSI on tires. Most people underinflate their tires and cause extra wear and tear. I have seen lots of posts about Pirelli tires wearing too fast. I recently had a pair installed on my 50cc scooter. I asked the Pirelli dealer what to run them at. He said 28 PSI for a soft ride and 35 PSI for best performance. I put them both at 34 PSI.


I emailed Pirelli tech to inquire about proper PSI. I told them I weigh 185Lbs., the bike weights 200Lbs., and that I run WOT on hot Florida streets. This is their reply email. I hope this clears up some people's opinions on Pirelli wear and proper inflation.



**Notice the Min 42 PSI**


***They do say 47 PSI on the sidewall***
