Ok, as a newbie I may have no respect here but... I can't believe all this I am reading here about running the max pressure from the sidewall of a tire. Doesn't anyone understand that that size tire might be used for many applications and each application may require a different pressure? Same with car/truck tires and 9 times out of 10 the people that don't know any better use the sidewall max pressure and are running 45 psi on their car. Best use manufacturer specs and bump them by 2-3 psi. If in doubt contact the tire manufacturer for their input. I know that Dunlop will give you their opinion for their tires on almost any bike. Please use some common sense. After all your life depends on those two tires.
