On pavement I generally run a few PSI less than the side wall rating. Roy Cope> At what PSI do ride on pavement? > > I still have the OEM tires on 4500Km KLR I just bought. > > JFLecours > Silver Bullet KLR >
21 psi front, 23 psi and up on the rear depending on the load. I run the 50/50 style tires, usually GP-1s. I've tried higher pressures but it reduces the mileage I get from the tire. No matter what I might like, my recommendation is to experiment and find what you like best.

That's exacly what I'm riding and find it a little wabbly at around 70mph. Would a higher pressure correct that?

I think so Jean. I've been running about 90% of sidewall max on the street, and that seems real good.

I don't see any issue with it. Hell, it's narrower than the bars from
what it seems, certainly narrower than a pair of Pelican boxes on
racks.
It's more dangerous to carry a bed roll with compression straps on the
rack as it could be sucked into the drivetrain and lock your wheel.
I still want to setup a trailer hitch to tow my 18' kayak on the bike.
Now that would definitely light up the day for a few LEO's.
