sorry, but I monitor my pressures before every ride.. as you can see by the pics of my FOBO tpms..I don't let them drop more than 2 lbs before topping them off.. I have also checked my FOBO against other tire pressure gauges.. I do believe it is the abrasive roads I ride.. I have had over 100 bikes and have never gotten good wear.. I don't just putt around town.. I like the twisties.. I don't use the brakes much, downshift a lot, weigh about 200 lbs, mainly ride one up.. these are some other factors that may play a part.. I do have a bad habit of ringing out the last mile, before replacing my tires, but when you get such lousy mileage I feel I must.. chuckk j.
I was going by the book on the tire pressures.. maybe I should boost it up.. I know some of my other bikes ran about 42 lbs in the front.. what pressures do most of you run, front and rear ? ..
by the way... there was a question as to how long the batteries lasted in my FOBO tpms.. the ones that came with the unit lasted 2 or 3 months .. I replaced them with energizers.. they have lasted 5 months so far and going strong..
