Can someone please point me the right direction to finding the correct pressure for SIP Performers, I have read lots of options and opinions about other tubeless tyres but I am really seeking something abit more technical in regard to Performers.
Cheers

There are no correct pressures. They're tyres, the same as Michelin's or Conti's. Inflate them to suit yourself.

Worth asking SIP who make them? Especially if putting them on SIP tubeless rims. They should tell you what the minimum and maximum pressures will be, personally I wouldn't just go with the pressures quoted in a 50 year old Lambretta manual for modern tyres on modern rims.

Thats what I would like to know, what is the min and max pressure for these on SIP Rims. I cannot see it for looking on the SIP Site.
MB suggests as To boldly Go says just keep adding a couple of PSI to suit your riding etc but thats not a specific number.

SIP rims have a tendency to loose pressure if under a certain psi, I read somewhere that this was around the 30 mark, which is high for your front wheel. Certainly explains why my front needed topping up on a regular basis. I now run the front at 25psi and this does seem to hold better.
