here's what I recommend.. ( for highway use anyway ) start with about 38 psi rear, 34 psi front. fine tune/adjust from there for best handling.. like good turn-in response, good cornerning stability ( neigher under or oversteer ) and decent ride. I don't like to go over abou 36 psi measured Cold in the front.. rear ..up to 44 psi cold everytime I put in a lot of air pressure .. like say 50 rear, 40 front, COLD .. I end up lowering back down. the tires are part of the suspension.. pressures need to be adjusted to work in concert with the suspension.
