Default tire pressure

I've got a 16" 200mm rear and 16" front tire. I've been told conflicting tire pressures from every tech at the dealership and everyone I meet. What should you run in them- I ride solo 98% of the time.
thanks

Checked that a long time ago. It's just that the techs disagree with the manual and each other on how much air to run.

What the manual say and what is stated on the side wall of the tire can be different. Mine is.

Agree look at load rating on tire and remember this is max for a heavy load not for a solo rider.(figure you should be a few psi under max) You can go to manufacturers website and that will also tell you. Whats in manual is for OEM tires only.
