OM XS Monowheel August 1998 Page 7-4:
- tyre pressure for correct inflation - 18 PSI (1,2 bar)
Is not that too flat?
I have used almost double (2,2 bar)
No landing or handling difficulties.

FWIW, in heavy transport, tyre pressures are vital in ensuring tyre
life, a tyre than underinflated
by as little as 10% can and does have its life shortened by as much as
95%, due to excessive flexing
of the side walls causing overheating and delamination, which
generally results in total and complete
failure with little to no warning. No doubt some of you would have
seen a truck tyre explode on the
freeway for no apparent reason
