Pressures of WTB Horizon 650Bx47 tires
Has anyone a pointer to a table of pressures for such a tire? Barring that, a formula for their calculation. The tires have to carry a load of about 100 Kg.

I've got a smartphone app from Berto Tire (downloaded from Android Play Store) that says for a normal road bike with 650B x 47 tires, 22 lb bike weight and 220 lbs rider, the tire pressure should be 45 psi(rear) and 32 psi (front). cheers, John B. |

The typical rule of thumb is to shoot for the tire to sag 15% of its diameter when loaded. According to that, you'd want your rim to get 7mm closer to the ground when you load up the bike. I'd just do some trial and error with the pressures until I got that result. And I'd keep in mind tire pressure really doesn't have to be extremely precise. -- - Frank Krygowski |

For comfort, I'd start on the low end and try to measure when a rim drop of about 15% of tyre diameter. I rode 60mm wide tyres with more than 100kg load (my own 95kg and 35kg of load at times) on 2 bar and down to 1.5 bar for years, and currently inflate them to about 2.4 bar and ride them down to 2.1 bar because the roads hereabouts have become worse over that period; the important consideration is not to create a fishbite and shortly a fall through a pothole. In general, it is near-iimpossible to destroy the sidewalls of modern balloons through reasonable under inflation, so if your roads are good, start at the low-end of the spread I give and decide where you want to inflate empirically by steps and test-rides, first lower, then higher.
