What tire pressures are you using for the ME888s?

Would those who are using the Metzler ME888s be willing to share the tire pressures that you are using? I’m primarily interested in longevity. I was disappointed with how quickly the stock Commander IIIs wore down.

The manual and TFT list 42.1 psi front and 46.4 rear, however, Metzler states not to inflate past 40 psi on their website.

I just switched to the Metzler ME 888s on my TC. Can anyone provide information on tire pressure recommendations?

Thank you. I have had my 2022 in twice and the dealer said there was no update available in the system. I still have ver. 012_007_030 that my 2022 TC came with in 02/2023 when I bought it.

When did you have this update performed?

I used the 100L bag on this trip. It is an excellent affordable option. I experienced rain without issue and the construction feels like it will last a long time. I'm sure it will work great on a variety of motorcycles, but it feels like it was perfectly designed to go on top of the...

I didn't make it far south enough for the Tail of the Dragon, but I road the Back of the Dragon in Virginia on my TC earlier this week. I was riding the Blue Ridge Parkway and it was a two hour detour, so I hopped over for a jaunt. The TC handled it fine.

Awesome! Thank you for sharing. Looks like a great journey.

Yes. When mine had the issue, it would try and turn over at least twice as long as your video and would not start. It would always fire on the second attempt. This lasted for a couple of months and then the issue went away.
