Inner Tubes

Sorry if its be covered before....

Bike: Africa Twin 2 up with luggage - 21” 90/90 front 17” 140/90 rear Michelin Anakees

I'm planning on fitting Michelin HD inner tubes (4mm) and carrying my existing set as a spare assuming they are in good condition. I’ll be riding mostly on the road and stone tracks. Will thick inner tubes be happy in warm weather conditions +/- 35 ° on a loaded bike (350-400kms per day)… anyone have recommendations on the tyre pressures, with / without passenger…

Many thanks Matt
