Default Whose idea was it to fit cups OMG

So tonight after hours of winter refurbing. I drove cesil out of the warm garage and down to the local petrol station.

What the ????????? Cups are lethal ! A gritter was coming the other way so i took avoiding measures. I was shocked at the lack of grip and traction. I checked the pressures and set to 2.4bar 35 psi.

Think ill wait till its abit warmer and reserve final judgement. PSS next im thinking

Also maybe the pressure is a little high? Shimmy advised me around 30-32 HOT for the road...

I don't have the sticker !!!! That's first time I've paid attention to it as never ran cups before !

As regards tyre pressures I checked the door sticker. Says 2.4 bar all round.
So do most people run slightly less then ?
