Default 1200 Custom tire pressure differences

Going to mount up a set of the 5 spoke cast rims on my '17 Custom that currently has the laced rims on it.

Question I have is, apparently Harley didn't offer the 1200 Custom with the 5 spoke cast rims in 2017. They did the years before '17, and again in '18 and up. The sticker on the downtube states 36 PSI front, and 40 PSI rear. Any difference in PSI between a laced rim with a tube, and the 5 spoke rim being tubeless?

I don't think the wheel makes any difference but rather the tire. H-D has kept the Michelin Scorchers since the Custom went to fat tires in 2011. My '11 Custom has the 5 spoke wheels and says 36 and 40, so no change there.

Stick with your 36 and 40.

It does depend on tyre manufacturer though and their tyre. On the Avon site it shows for the Spirit ST on my Superlow to use 36 front and 39 rear. 39 instead of 42.
