I have run both the triple 8s and 880s. The triple 8s get much better mileage (almost 50%+), but are definitely slicker. I have had a few unexpected slips on the triple 8s.

My Metzlers don’t have a MAX PSI listed on the sidewall.
I looked it up and they just recommend what the service manual
or manufacturer says. I thought it strange.

Thanks for purchasing our tires.
Our recommended pressure for your bike, riding solo, would be 36 front, 44 rear as a minimum
