Can anyone point me to the tire pressure specs in the 55HC manual? I'm not finding them. The RK tech did not know when I called, if you can believe that. Or if you just know what is best practice in general, I'd appreciate hearing. Is there any secret to checking and filling the tires since they have beet juice inside?

Fronts I just go to the pressure printed on the tire. Rear R4s I go until the outside of the tread is just starting to try to come out of contact with the ground.

I run my front tires at 30 psi. My rears at 16 psi. For the rears - this is when the chevrons make full contact with the ground.

Beet juice - 12 'O clock high - puff or two of air into the tire to clear any RimGuard - check with appropriate air gage.

Not sure about the 55 but the mechanic when I bought my 37 told me to run the pressure printed on the front time which is 40 psi and the backs get run at 20. The 20 psi is wrote on the tires with chaulk but I never saw anything in the manual. But I didn't spend a lot of time reading the manual before going to play with my new toy..........
