Hot tire pressure.
#32
Thought I detected some smartassedness and thought I'd return the favor.
This is the method I use now with my Dunlop E3's. I get marginally improved ride, handling and tire wear for the effort.
Back in the days of race bikes running bias ply tires, it was said that the difference between cold tire pressure should be less than 10%. So...36 cold and under 40 hot all was well and expected. No rise meant too much cold pressure and more than 10% meant too low cold pressure.
That being said, if you do not have a good calibrated tire pressure gauge then you may not be able to distinquish 10% differential accurately. TPMS are horrible inaccurate.

You are adequately perceptive. Had you made the second post initially I would not have felt the need to "encourage" your sharing of the information that you claimed you had in your actual first post. Enjoy your tantrum, I have.

Essentially thats what it amounts to near as I can see. The difference is only in the initial determination of what cold psi you want. Some guys just pump er up to "max load" cold psi levels per what it says in their manual. They may not even realize there's an option. Others determine "actual load" cold psi levels and keep pressures at that. I prefer the latter option but honestly don't see it as a great big deal either way. We're talking a 15 minute effort over the life of a set of tires and the results, though noticeable, are hardly life changing.

Here's a link to one of the threads this guy posted on the subject. He has at least 2 others.
