Metzeler Z6 - tyre pressures
 
Anybody know the Front & rear pressures off the top of their heads :confused:

Use OEM recommendation 33 fr 36 rr

Go with standard pressures to see if that works for you. Baph found that raising the rpessures slighty made the tyres perform better; I tried this too (35 front, 38 rear) and found that they did work better for me (but this may be because I do alot of slower town riding, where the tyres never get warm enough to increase the pressure enough by themselves?)

Muchos gracias everybody, I'll pump them up to the recommended, although I might try 35f & 38R as an experiment.

Don't 33 and 36 is perfect for the ME Z6.
My bike runs superbly at those pressures and I have plenty of grip in the wet and dry.

What one finds ideal another might find terrible. Pressures in tyres is a personal thing. Just the same as changing suspension settings.

Really? So the chap from Bridgestone was talking rubbish when he said that running a tyre at different pressure than that stated by the manufacturer will cause the tyre to behave potentially in a very dangerous way.
