I have bigger tyres on my monte mounted on the standard s1 13" rims. Any one suggest a tyre pressure for 205 60 13? currently running pressure for standard.

Jon,

205's are kinda wide for that stock 5.5" wide rim. That might be part of your handling problem - with enough pressure to stiffen the tire, the tread is no longer flat, and you're riding on only the center. You could try a lower pressure, especially in the rear, to see if that helps. Maybe 25-28 psi? This is for street tires. I run low 30's but with wider rims.
