Can someone help me on this issue. I just got a new RadRunner Plus with 20X3.3 tires. The manufacturer claims that tire pressure is on the side of the tire and that may be true, but after the highly reflective stripe is added and you have 74 year old eyes I cannot see if it there and what it might say. So can someone give me an idea of the correct pressure for my tires. Currently I'm keeping them at 30 PSI. Hope that's close. Thanks for any help.

 That is what my Mini tires say also so I am keeping it at 32!

Thank you ever so much. I did not realize that page existed.

I stopped around 30.  Just like tractor tires which have around 5-10psi.  The bigger fatter tires should be at least 1/2 of the pressure of a Race or Touring bike. Use your brain, RTFM (read the FINE manual)!  And if you are unsure, call or email RadPowerBikes, or do like you did post on the forum.  There is also a Rad owner .redit.  Give it a look. 
I'm an RW4 owner. I'm not using any of these ancient forums. (ICQ, AIM, MSN, YIM). Instead look for @joelhuebner, joel.huebner, joel.huebner@gmail.com, joel52334.
That's where you will find me.

Unnecessarily rude.

It's necessary to check the tire pressure to ensure that you are maintaining the proper PSI for your wheels. Should use a bike tire pressure gauge to check your tire's firmness. For Road bikes, PSI is recommended to be 92. 116 (23mm), 80? 104 (25mm),.Some bicycles have a wider range of PSI such as BMX because its pressure is more heavily influenced by the activity it will be used for.
