Hard core Metzler fan are we? Not that there's anything wrong with that. I have the same tires on my bike too! 8)
Well Kev, I'm sure there are equally good or better tires out there, but the one thing I think the Metz's do unusually well, is handle rain. I get LOTS of rain here and its nice to have a tire that grips and tracks well in the slippery stuff. 
Yep, hard core fan all right.

Try checking the appropriate tire manufacturer's website or calling their technical assistance department. One good thing about product liability lawsuits is that companies like tire manufacturers must make safety information readily available. I, like Earl, am a big fan of Metzeler tires. I've used them for years on many different bikes and have had great stability, handling, and good mileage with them. Their website has a full line brochure that has all kinds of specs such as correct rim width and tire fitment, what type of tire to buy based on your type of riding, etc., and also guidelines for air pressures. They also have some brand specific guides that have even more detail. I was able to find the exact sizes, tire type, and pressures for my '88 Honda Hurricane 1000. Here's a link to the full line brochure:

and a link to their homepage:

For safety's sake it is certainly worth taking some time to get the right info about tires.

Here'e a link to Dunlop's fitment guide. You search by motorcycle brand and model and it gives you tire type, sizes, and air pressures.

I'm sure other brands have similar giudes.

36psi front and back, cold. A little higher in the back on trips with gear on.
I also like tyres and tyre pressures that work in the wet as I ride wet or dry, cold or hot.
