OK, a couple thousand miles ago ( a little over 2) i put on brand new Metz tires. I went on GSJakes recommendationon tires (Z2's and Z4's i think?). What do you run your tire pressures at? I go by the stock pressures (33 and 36 psi). My tire is already squared off, but with plenty of tread. I have never gone on the highway, and I ride as agressively as I am able to . What am I doing wrong? These tires definatly wont last 15K. Could the suspension be setup wrong (not that there is alot to adjust). Thanks.

15k?  Miles?  I have never heard of any tire with decent grip getting 15k miles.  BT45's are a "sport touring" tire that has a harder center compound for longer highway life and mine looks like it 'might' get 8-9k out of it eventually.

i dunno, i thought i read that some place. what pressure should i use?

For the record, here are the figures for my first pair of BT45H's:

Front: 15,409 miles (24,654 km)
Rear: 8,406 miles (13,449 km)

I'm not sure whether I changed either of them "too soon" or "too late", so please ignore the last 3 significant digits.

No one gave me a straight answer! What tire pressures do you run!?!

Stock pressure, or just a bit under (I'm light).  Pirelli Sport Demons, stock size, about 2k mi on them, 2/3 highway, still nice and round.
