Hi guys,

Looking For cold tire pressure reccomendations for Pirelli Supercorsa Diablo SP V3 tires.

190 55 Rear
120 75 Front

2014 Yamaha R1

Any and all information is appreciated!

Here is a thread about tire pressures. I'm not sure how many guys are running a 14 r1. When in doubt consult the manual. You can try the chart from the tire manufacturer, but even they say go with the motorcycle manufacturer.

Tire Pressures?

The manual calls for 36 psi front and 42 psi rear. What are you guys running? Will these numbers make the tire a little hard for street riding?

In the end, you will have to find the right combination for you. The right tire, pressure and suspension set up for the weather conditions, your weight and your style. There are a lot of variables.

Pirelli says 29-32 cold front and 25-28 cold rear in their documentation for what that's worth.

Thank you for taking the time, I really appreciate it.

I would be riding in dry conditions around 75 degree Fahrenheit.

Any other input is welcome

It's going to depend on your pace, riding habits, and the overall conditions at the track.

If you ride really hard and agressive, I say start around 27 - 29 psi cold in the rear and 28 - 30 cold in the front.

If you aren't extremely fast and aggresive, I say start at 29 - 31 cold psi in the rear and 30 - 32 cold in the front.

Check your hot pressures and tire conditions after the first session.

That generally works for me. And also, ask the trackside vendor during your trackday. Again, it's contingent upon your riding style and the track conditions that day.

Have fun and be safe.
