I remember Jerry post that chart before so I went & checked my note at my air pump.  I run the OEM rear @ 40psi,  880 @ 45psi.  FWIW
Problem still is - not a lot of choices for this scooter.

Same here, I made a copy of it and keep it on the bike all the time, I check pressure everytime I ride, I know the Metzler's are not a high mileage tire but I will give that up for the way they handle and ride.

SERK3, according to the chart you should inflate to 42psi for 2-up riding.  Is that what you're doing?

Two up Heavy 41 in front & 48 rear, together we are 400 lbs. The first set of Metz I ran what H-D called for their tires I thought the bike handled and rode real good, Then I ran across a Metz Factory Rep. he told me that I needed to run more air, I did, the bike rode and handled much better. With the lower air pressure the side walls were giving up, So I guess the side walls on these tires are softer than the H-D (Dunlops) tires.
