I run about 30psi in the bridgestone front on my 75.

When I had the pirelli rear I used to run that at about 35/36 and put it up to 40-42 if I was doing sustained 'high' speed, but the mitas seems to like it around 28-30.

For me, the tyre pressure depends on use/riding style etc. and any recommendations are just a starting point - although to be fair sometimes that starting point ends up being the finishing point too...

i always... i mean always... run my cold tior pressure to the maxium as written on the sidewall of the tior...

makes a radial feel like a bias... i like that sensation of being on the edge of a high side...
