Pressures for yok's

Anybody running Avid V4S? What kind of tire pressures did you come up with?

I have had mine for about 500 miles....I love them for the price...I havent had too much time to mess around with tire pressure but i leave mine at about 35 all around...Seems to me they corner a little better than any pressure lower than that. I dont I would go to much higher than that, especially in the summer when the pressure of tires rises a lot due to heat. For this winter when it snows, I will prolly run the tires around 30-32 for a little better snow traction.

Run 33psi around town as shown on a digital tire gage. Bump to 34psi for road trips and 36psi when playing in the twisties. Get yourself a tread depth gage and keep an eye on the wear. Your local tire dealer can turn you on to a depth gage or go here; http://www.bobstools.net/Store/36448.html

I generally use my calibrated eyeball for a depth gauge. Was just wondering if anybody had done any playing around with pressures on these tires. Wear shouldn't be a problem. I got 59K out of the stock Michellin pieces of junk, it's time to change.
