I pump my tyres to 35psi front and 40psi rear i prefer them like that as there is less drag so better economy just be aware the more pressure the less tire surface makes contact with the road so may want to reduce pressure slightly in winter when the roads are more likely to be slippery...

I just went to the garage to pump mine up and saw on the sidewall it says max psi when cold is 25psi. Theyre Brigestone Mola's, pumped them up to 28psi anyway and i'll give that a go over the next couple of days and see how it feels to ride on.

25 is that any air in there they might roll right of the rim.

12", front is 120, rear is 130. Bridgestone Molas ML50 tyres (tires).

See how it feels tomorrow going to work. I want to be sure i dont over inflate it and then lose grip in the rain

I know right.  most tires need that much just so the bead well take on the rim.

I Think I posted my Pirelli was flat. ZERO air, and I did not even notice. It did get squirrelly in a turn, and I thought maybe engine mounts. I leaned on the tire to pull, and found it had no air. These are some STIFF side walled tires.

On both my agilitys, there are a sticker just below the seat to the front, which sais how much air should be pumped into the tires when there are one or 2 riders. When reading this, it should be taken into consideration, that this bike is originally made for taiwanese people, who (like any other asian) is a little bit smaller than us western people, and usually weights around 50 kg. So if you are a strong man at 100 kg, pump the pressure for 2  riders. ;)

Second kymco agility 50 (2010) 20.000+ km. Project Fuel Injection. Stolen.
