    For street riding, you should be fine at about 32 front and 32 rear. If you're doing more aggressive street riding or trackdays, maybe drop to 30/30. If you do lots of highway commuting, you could go as high as the manufacturer's suggested pressures(34/36 I believe-check your owner's manual).

    I kept the rear tire a bit lower than that especially when it was really cold out.

    Thanks for the input. I've been running 32/37, my friend said front looked a little low, so I figured i get some more opinions.

    Michelin will tell you to run the pressures in the MOM for street use.

    Trackday - 30F 28R set cold.
