On low pressures you can go round the corners on opposite lock, looks spectacular.

especially if you don't realise you have a puncture and enter that tighter than expected corner at 40mph

Oh yes! 110km/h on the sweeper bends at the SSDT with only 4.5psi is a bit of fun with some mates!

Even with road pressure, competition trials tyres are terrible when you lean the bike in a turn due to the squareness of the tyre profile.

To answer your question, 14 psi front and rear is usually enough to prevent overheating the tyres at high speed on bitumen.

Of course this happened while standing up on the pegs and you then executed a perfect recovery as seen from the car behind - further enhancing the belief that trails riders are the most SKILLED.
