tourance tyres

[T ALP]

Hello there everybody
Iv'e just put a set of tourance's on my 650 alp
and done a couple of hundred miles with 29psi front and back as per
standard trailwings. just wondered if anybody has found better pressures to run them at? (riding solo I will be about 14 stone kitted up) they feel great by the way. ------------ Chris

According to the Metzeler website, on a TA650 they recommend 2.0 bar front and 2.25 bar rear which converts to F29 & R32.6 in good old PSI.
I've always run mine at 29 in the front and 31 in the rear (solo) and it seems to be fine - handles great and no excessive wear. (I up it to 32/33R 2-up with luggage).
Great choice of tyres - they feel much better in the wet than the Trailwings I have on my Vara which are a bit twitchy and don't really inspire confidence at all (fine in the dry though)!
Hope this helps?

I have them on my @ but do tend to run them at a higher pressure.
Front 32psi
Rear 36psi
