I bought an I/S with standard size Metz. I run 2 up and got a little junk in da trunk and bags. I've been running about 40 front and 42 rear,combined weight of us us about 400 lbs. Is that  about right?

when i was still on 2 mc tires, i preferred metzelers, with 36 psi front / 42 back.
we put about the same weight on the scale.

now still metz on front, dark side on rear.

I run 45 both front and rear with my Metz.  On the rare occasion that my pressure drops to about 40 psi I can tell in the handling.

I've got Metzlers with an oversize rear (Tourer). Love 'em. They certainly seem to grip much better than the Dunlops, and feel a lot better.

Typically run between 36 and 40 psi in each.

And typically just me + misc stuff in the bags. Under 200 lbs typically I'd say.
