#105240 RoadieSL (User) 2004 Midnight Star Senior Boarder Posts: 228 New Metzler air pressure 4 Months ago   Just installed new Metzler 880 tires and have gotten a number of different answers on what air pressure to run in them any of you Metzler people out there tell me what air pressure to run so I don't get cupping like the bridgestone did   Logged     2004 Midnight Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #105246 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13224 Re:New Metzler air pressure 4 Months ago   Run what it says on the tires. And then adjust it to suit your riding.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/01 14:48 By Musky.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #105252 Kenny U (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 8 Re:New Metzler air pressure 4 Months ago   What Musky said. I have the 880's with 5,000 miles and very little signs of wear. I set the air at what it says on the side of the tires.

I didn't buy the tires from him so he wasn't much help suckered me 30.00 per tire just to mount I only got screwed on one took the othe one some place else people in Salt Lake City be aware of shop on State next to Harbor Fright!   Logged     2004 Midnight Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #105314 MikelJay (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 179 Re:New Metzler air pressure 4 Months ago   RoadieSL.... I'm running the Metzler ME880's on my bike as well and have over 8,000 miles on the set. The front is holding up real well, I think I'll get another 10 to 12,000 miles out of it with no problem. I'd say the rear has about 3,000 miles left on it. I've been running 40 to 42psi in the front and 45psi in the rear. My tech told me that to figure the right air pressure, to use the same air pressure guage everytime and to raise or lower the air pressure a pound or 2 then go ride for about 10 or 15 minutes, then recheck your air pressure. He told me that if the air pressure in the tire doesn't change by more than a pound, then it's at the right pressure. So far, it's worked for me......   Logged     Mike `06 Roadstar Silverado Lenoir City, Tn Star Touring and Riding Patriot Guard   The administrator has disabled public write access. #105319 Curt (User) Never to old to ride!
