What tires, different brands require different pressures.

Dunlop GP211 are weird pressures, on my 600 they ran only 21psi hot in rear. Pirellis would always be around 29-30 cold, any less and they ain't got no grip lol

Dunlop are generally strange pressures, as I say the GP211 used to be around 29 cold front and with rear u set it to 21 cold, heated it with warmer and it would go up to 26. Then u dropped it back to 21 hot. That was the NTEC tyre, you be best to wait till u get there and ask what everyone else runs. It was more a reply to the low Pirelli cold pressures mentioned earlier, they were a mile out. I've run Supercorsa for years at short circuits and Isle of Man and you need 29-30 cold. Ps the GP211 Ntec is only tyre you measure hot pressures, all others are cold

The supercorsa low pressures are similar to what I run on the track. Better check with the tire guys for those dunlops.

I used to run the old style Pirelli at 30f 28r, but the new design run less pressure.
See the online site for both hot/cold pressures
