I am now running the Metzler 210 on the rear and 90/90 on the fronton my 06 Train.I weigh 220lbs whatwoulda good tire pressure be?The rear and front both have indicated on the sidewall a max psi of 42.I read about cupping if they under are inflated.Suggestions would be great.I ride 2 up as well. thx

 

I got stock Dunlop rubbers on my train,come in at about a buck eighty and ride solo. I make sure mine show me 30 in the front and 38 in the rear cold.

 

Metzler recommends higher pressure than Dunlop or factory recommendations. Usually this is about 5 pounds higher front and rear.

 

Cupping normally occurs when the tireis run with low pressure. Check your tire pressure often.
I would go with the 32-40 psi cold range. I change tire pressureas my tire wears to get optimum mileage.

 

Whatever you do, don't base it on the max shown on the tire. That is only what Metzler has determined to be the max for the Tire,not your bike. Metzler has no idea what bike their tire will end up on.My $.02

 

If you go to the Metzler site, they have the pressures for every tyre.

And yeah, they're higher than the pressures for Dunlops.

 

I run Metzelers on my bikes and set the PSI at about 4 lbs under maximum for general purpose riding. I'm 235 pounds of meat and gristle andrun alot of freeway miles.

 

thats good advice, dont do what the tire says, but do what the owners manual says.

 

Metzeler site says 38 front, 44 rear for me 880's. Manual for my fatboy says 36f 36r rear. I am going to try 38 44 and see how it feels...

 

But the rear and front say max of 42 on the tire.
