New tires Vs. Suspension settings

[GatorBuell]

Anyone notice a change in suspension settings when changing to different tire makes. I have had to change my set up from the stock Dunlops to the Michelins. My rebound and compression where different.

Tire pressure Question- I know that tire pressure is based on weight but will the pressure change between tires makes.

yea, it's possible that changing tires will have a difference in suspension setup.
1 tire will give you more feedback than the other...it's all in the way the 'carcas' is built.

the internal measurements of the tire should be the same, unless your fitting super special tires.
so it's the form of the wheel and weight that should make the difference.

I was almost disappointed with the new tires until I started tinkering with the suspension. Its amazing how small adjustments can make a big differences.
