    Recommended tyre pressure for my tyres is 40-65 kPi. I discovered yesterday mine was below 30 and put it up to 60.

    I'm wondering what this will do to my maximum cornering speed?

    The context for this is that I came off three weeks ago trying to take a corner to fast on wet concrete, and I'm now a little nervous - but I hate going slow as well.

    Thanks

    running within the recommended pressures will optimise grip for that tyre but there are lots of other variables to take into account too.

    your confidence will come back!

    What type of bike?? Road, MTB, comfort??
    What type of tyre? MTB, knobbly, block, grooved, slick?

    Corners on wet concrete, ouch, slippery... :eek:
