Triumph TR6 - The right tire pressure.

Hope you are all enjoying the summer days in your topless Triumphs !
I am sure this question has been raised at one point in time, does anyone know what is the best tire pressure for the TR6.
I have 215-65-15, Falken tires.
The ride is actually quite good, tire pressure is 35 lbs. all around, but if I read the Owners Manual I am way off. I realize tire size is different than originals...
Thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions !
Happy Canada day to all Canadians !

Hello,

We are far away from Michelin X or XAS with modern tires. A series 65 ratio is stiffer than original 165R15. Which means harsh ride at 35 lbs. I prefer a bit lower pressure:

28 lbs front
30 lbs rear

Cheers,
