What is stamped on the tire is usually max recommended.......Not what you should run all the time.

Can you find any tire website that states "We recommend you run this at 44 psi"? I didn't say you COULDN'T run it that high, but I've never heard of a tire company actually RECOMMENDING it. Besides, with cars, the owners manual is more important, since every car weighs different, etc. |

I doubt it lists those pressures for all conditions. Sure you're not leaving out the fact that it's talking about when you're riding 2-up or something?
I would use a car's owner's manual for tire pressure recommedations, but not a bike manufacturers. All sportbikes weigh within 50 lbs of each other these days, so why would one bike recommend 36/42 and another 32/36? It wouldn't make sense. I would pay more attention to the tire company's recommendations. Each tire is different, for example I think Pilot Powers recommend higher pressures than most brands. And besides, like I said, I already run 40 or so for commuting, but I would never do that for a spirited run. Go to any track day, and regardless of whether you are just using street tires, they will tell you to lower the pressure to get more grip. |

Yes I did. And the tires max out higher then that (hence the "recommended" part)
