Default Commander tire pressures??
Just got new Michelin Commanders. Called Michelin and asked what pressure I should run and they said follow the HD manual. Not sure I believe them. Anyone know? MT90-16 front. MU85-16 rear.

why would you not believe them since they manufacture the tire but believe some yeahoo on an internet forum instead?

Should be marked on the sidewall of the tire. My Metzlers say 50 P.S.I. for the rear

My rear tire was at 36, so I pumped up to 40.&nbsp\\; That should help with mpg.&nbsp\\; I left front at 36.
