FYI, the tire manufacturer's recommendation is a general one that has to cover every vehicle a particular tire can be mounted on. It is NOT necessarily the ideal tire pressure for every one of those vehicles. The vehicle manufacturer determines the optimum tire pressure for that tire on their vehicle(s).
P.S.- I'd never suggest to anyone that they ignore the recommendations found in their owner's manual.

I would never follow the recommendation of the bike's owner's manual....follow the recommendations of the tire manufacturer...

On what page is the presure listed? I'll be dammed if I can find it. Riding pressured listed on my tires is 40 psi max. cold. I run 40 rear/38 front.
