Default How much?(tyre pressure)

Pressure you keep on your street sport tyres?

Dealer told me that Michelin Pilot Powers are happy with
Front 2.5 and rear 2.9 bars

Can this be right???

I normally always go with what the Suzuki manual says. It's the bike that that determines tyre pressure usually and not the tyre. Something like 34-36 psi rear and 32-34 front from memory but def the bike is the boss as these tyre sizes can go on a host of different bikes.

Tyre pressures are a very individual thing. As a general rule, you should follow the manufacturers recomendations.

That said, for both the Metzler Z6 and the Pilot Road 2 (2CT), I run 36/42psi (2.48/2.89bar).
