Default what PSI are you running in your metz 880

I just put on some metzler 880's and the installer told me to run 35 psi, front and rear, even though the tire states in the 40's. I have an 07 FXSTC so it's the 210 on the back tire and the 21 on the front. This didn't/doesn't sound right...what are you guys running? I've been told metz runs at a higher psi than Dunlop.

I have used the Metzeler 880's for years now. 06 Standard and 97 Valkyrie. I have always gotten the best mileage running 40 psi front and 42 psi rear. That's two up or solo. BTW, you guys or gals running 35 psi, that's WAY TOO LOW!!!

I was told to run 44-46. I am running mags. We have tons of pot holes in the Houston area and was told this would help prevent a bent rim in case I ran into one at speed! I have not had a problem running 46 for the last 4K miles, they ride so much better than the Dunflops that were on from stock.
