Tyre pressures depend on many many things but as an 11 stone weakling I used to run 32/34 on my zx6r on pirelli diablos.

As for the wheel wobble it's probably an out of balance front tyre or a wheel bearing on its way.

35psi when hot, front and rear. Thumbs Up

The wheel wobbling, have any of the stick on weights that are for balancing it fallen off?

The tire seems to be gone. I've got this on my zxr at the moment, it starts around 100 mph and stops at 120+mph. The tire is not round anymore due to intense braking when the tire was cold. It's nothing to worry about, it happens a lot. If you spin the tire while the wheel is in the air you'll see the tire is not round = not balanced.

If you had low front tire pressure, it'd have wobbled during deceleration, not acceleration.

Go to your local tire shop and have the wheel checked. 99% of wheels must be balanced with weights. Thumbs Up

I just follow the 36/42 (well it says 41) from the book on my J1.

Currently have Conti Motion's on it now and they feel great... especially for the cheaper end of the spectrum of tyres.

Check they are balanced correctly as previously mentioned, especially if they have 4mm of tread left..
