RT LC Tyre Pressures

dicktheleg · May 21, 2017

Has anyone experimented with them on an RT LC.

I upped the front to 2.7 bar today and it made a very noticeable improvement to steering feel / turn in.

Thoughts chaps?

Ps I'm running PR4GT's

Others have said that increased pressure such as you describe will reduce the cupping that occurs on PR4s

When mine came back from it's service the front PR4 was 2.7 previously it was 2.5. I don't use PR4GT's but prefer PR4's as I think the GT's are too stiff and give a jittery ride. Not had any problem with cupping though, and thought only the rear was classed as GT ?

PR4GT's on my 2010 RT and I run them at 36psi & 42psi...or at least I would run 42 on the rear if it would hold its pressure!

38 front and 42 rear, as advised by Mr Michelin. The BMW recommended tyre pressures can not be correct for all tyres, should speak directly to the manufactures of the tyres. More pressure in the front, does help with cupping and doesn't impact grip if at all.
