Tire Pressures
I know it's been talked about before. But I just bought a 21/18 inch wheel combo from Hog Pro.with Metzler rubber. Iwas just wondering if you guys are running whats recommended on the tires or something different?

Stock pressures will work,
Stock pressures will work,
according to metzler's info, all the 21"'s run 38min/42max and the 18's use 44min/50max on the 140 and 40min/42max for the 150.
if you run stock pressure in a metzler, you will not be satisfied with the results. you've got to run higher pressure in them. other tires, not sure about. i would take the max pressure listed on the sidewall, and run a few pounds less than that. that pressure is fully loaded, max weight.

This is what I did.

If you haven't changed the load on the tire (added weight to the bike) stock pressures will work. After saying that I will add the disclaimer that I should have added to my first post:. You should never run less than stock pressure or more than the max pressure stated on the sidewall of the tire.Things like rim width etc. will affect how the bike feels/handles. The final pressure will depend on what feels good to you. The above is just a guidline to get you started.
Hope this helps clear it up for you
