With a 185/65-16 auto tire on the rear of my Boulevard C90 I’ve noticed after experimenting a bit, as soon as the tire presure is below 28 psi it feels just like a totaly empty motorcycle tire.
Braking on wet pavement with the bikes recomended presure while only using the rear brake (just testing, not a habit) is a lot harder to get it to lock, while is easyer to make a burnout.
I will post again results after a two months or one fall(whatever comes first)

Your info is incorrect. Motorcycle tires use a harder compound of rubber, that degrades faster than car tires. Tire pressure and tread wear check should be part of your PRE-ride check.
