Metzler M7rr road pressures?

[andy tims]

Recommendations based on experience please?

Just got these for my S1000r and the tyre centre just went with the standard 36/42 which is their default for pretty well every tyre.

Aren't recommended tyre pressures set by the manufacturer for the bike, not the tyres? As per BMW it should be 36/42 for the S 1000 R. Why would fitting M7RR tyres make a difference over the DCs? Never occurred to me to change the pressure when I changed to the M7RRs...

Tyre construction varies between manufacturers and tyres which is why a bike manufacturers recommended pressures based on the OE tyres might not work when different tyres are fitted.

Metzler don't give anything on their website that I could find either. In any case the correct pressure for any tyre will vary depending on bike weight, power and a number of other criteria hence asking for opinion based on experience of using these tyres.
