How often should you pump your tires?

[Anonymous1502]

For road bikes. The recommended pressure for my bike tires is 110PSI how often do I need to pump them?

 

[Drago]

Whenever your weekly pressure checks show the pressure has dropped more than 10 psi.

When they need it. I might give mine a check and a squeeze once a week or when I ride that bike if it’s been a while
That’s very high pressure, how much do you weigh? Is that the recommendation for your weight? What width tyres? There’ll be a range on the side wall, if you’re heavy go near the top, light the bottom

and they’re tyres in London

It'll depend on the brand of the tyre too. My Marathon Plus hold their pressure really well. I don't need to check & pump them up often.

I'd suggest you start off by checking regularly and you'll get to know what they're like and how quickly they need topping up.

 

[Smokin Joe]

Every 100 yards.

Use a gauge to check. Your fingers can't tell the difference between 80 and 110 psi.

To be fair though, I'm a hefty lump of space time warping manliness and I run mine at 110 on 25C tyres. To some degree it's a taste thing but even so, youd need to be fairly close to my 19 stone to make 110 a necessity.

Every 100 yards.

I've done that, not quite 100yds, but every mile or so when I've had a slow puncture and I've already used my last tub.

Are you sure it doesn't say max 110psi on the side wall?

Around 90 will be much more comfortable And less prone to punctures.

On every full moon.

On every full moon.

But you do run solid tyres.

But as said upthread, 110 sounds high.

I had a look at my wheels again it says 110-125psi on them.I weight 52kg the tire width is 25x700mm

On my wheels it says espoir sport and axis sport on them.

I weigh near on two and a half times as much and run 110. Experiment, start at 80 and see how you get on.

Before every ride. It's a two minute job, I wouldn't leave home without checking I was running on the correct pressure.
