Bonnie Tyre Pressure for touring?

Hey all, So it's a 2014 Bonnie, 2 new Metzeler Sportec Klassic tyres, me and the missus, going down through west England from Scotland to Portsmouth, ferry over to Santander, 9 days in Spain, and back up east coast of England.... leather panniers each side and Givi bag on the luggage rack on the back, weights are:

panniers and rackbag 16kg

me 73kg

Wife 57kg

fuel 14litres 10kg

tot 156kg

The normal tyre pressures are 2.82 bar back, and 2.2 front.... normally if we're riding 2 up I put the back up to 3.00, front to 2.4.... but with the extra luggage should I up it a bit more?

Muchos Gracias!

 

Thanks thebiglad, good advice mate.... I'll try and make the stuffabag as light as possible, I'm not used to riding with a tank bag, and dont really fancy it all the way down tbh.... and the wife won't see the post (hopefully) so what she doesnt know.....

 

Thanks Jockstew, it probably gets a bit more tlc than the wife does buddy

 

Nice advice Steve, will do mate....it's my first time touring, only had my bike licence just over 2 years although I've done 14500mls on the Bonnie to date from new, but really itching for this at the ripe young age of 56 ... once we get to Santander We're staying at my brother's house (lucky git has retired there)... he's about 2 hours west of Santander, so the panniers and givi bag will get dropped off (I had a zip put in the panniers at a saddlers for easy access on and off the bike ) so we'll be going days out on the bike with just a light backpack on, then back to his for beer and a Barbie... but on the way down and back I'll be taking it easy when loaded up
