I have a 2008 Roketa 54B. On a metal thingie inside the seat it says: Tires
130/60R13
Pressure..cold
Front = 32 psi
Rear = 41 psi
Is this correct? I would thimk when the tires got hot they would blow up. I have 3000 miles on this and have been useing arouund 27 psi front and back. Should I change??

Look on the tires themselves and it will tell you the max pressure then fill 10% less.

It also depends on the AGE of the tires which any number of viagras will not help(HAHA).

I looked on the front tire and it read 31 psi cold with full load. So with just one rider 27- 28 psi cold would be about right and that is what I have been using. I wonder why the metal tag under the seat read so much higher?
