I run Metzeler ME888s on Reaper. 90/90-21 up front @ 38 psi solo/40 psi loaded, and 150/80B16 (reinforced) in the rear @ 45 psi solo/47 psi loaded. These are the recommended pressures from Metz.

I found that running the factory pressures would cause the tires to wear out FAST.

Cheers!

36 front, 42 rear, that's what my manual tells me to run at at least.

I was told by the people who sold me the Metzlers I installed to run 42 front and rear.
