Metzeler Z6 - tyre pressures

[maviczap]

Anybody know the Front & rear pressures off the top of their heads

Use OEM recommendation 33 fr 36 rr

I'm using Z6s on standard 33 front, 36 rear.

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.

Sure I used to run mine at 36/42.....

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.
