Don't let the air out of a tire that
is not in use ito save it, Tires are
much better off when standing if well
inflated. Generally speaking, a small
tire requires more pressure than a
large one, if it is to carry the same
weight. and a given tire requires more
pressure in proportion as the rider IS
heavy. A tire should always contain
enough air to keep it's rim from the
ground. If in riding you feel the Slight
