 Hi de Hi -- presently running Pilot 3 s and I've always run my tyres at fully loaded pressures
 i.e. 36 psi front and 41psi rear -- the reason for this was originally caused by me being a bit lazy
in that I got fed up constantly altering pressures back and forth for carrying a pillion so I decided
to leave them at the loaded pressure and to be honest I now prefer the handling with the higher
settings---try it and see how you get on.   BTW  I've run all different brands of tyres at these settings without
problems .

Also running on PR3 (after PR2) and like Varonda always on fully loaded pressure. In my case 2,4b (36psi) front and 2,8b (40psi) rear. I like it this way.
