Heys guys, a question for you :

Now i run Metzeler ME880 120/70-21 Front, and Metzeler ME880 200/50-18 rear, like some of you guys.
I was wondering if you inflate this tires in a different way than with stock tires. I used to inflate 2.2 front and 2.6 rear, should i do the same ? what about you (i guess you will use a different pressure unit, give it to me that way, i will make the conversion !) ?.

this is the way DCC negociates : always more !
Ok, let's go for 36 if it's your last price

I thought that if the rear wheel was not well inflated it would handle more 'heavy' and that i would have to increase the pressure if the tire is wider. I understand it is not necessary.



Thanks !

You can, but there are other issue you have to think about further down the line, like billet callipers and if you ever want to go larger wheel size.

If you go for this mod you are better off hitting the full deal, trees down
