I always fill up half tank and it would cost me more if I lowered the pressure than replacing the tire. However it seems that the tires tend to go out of round at around 500km, and that really infuriates me. | |

I had the alignment checked a couple of weeks ago and there seems to be no problem with it. | |

A higher pressure than the one specified by the vehicle manufacturer is usually not an issue and supposedly recommended by some tire manufacturers. You refer to your "rear tire", but your "front tires", but afaik this goes for both cars and bikes. I purposely do it on both and have had no issues because of it. Under-inflation is what makes things go scary (not considering snow and ice). | |
