Yeah, I figured that either I'd messed in my Depends, or something was amiss in the tire pressure department. Big Grin

38-40 on my Griot gauge most of the time. +2 on front to retard cupping, -2 on rear to soften ride. Heck your tire gauge could be off 2#, how would you know? ( ..and pencil type guages are notoriously inaccurate). I have a $100 Griots and an $30 Accu-gauge, both supposedly guaranteed accurate within 1/4 pound, but they read 1# different. Which one is right?

Interesting Ferret. Maybe I should pick up an extra gauge for comparison!

Perhaps you should have 3 gauges and average the results?

I realized 34F/40R for the Conti Road Attack II CR's is about perfect.
