I think everyone runs different pressure...? but I run 28-30front and 28-30rear...Not sure if this is right but It seems ok...

what bike are you riding??

If your riding an F2 -F3

Front tyre 120-60-17, 36psi
Rear tyre 160-60-17 42psi

no more no less unless you have a never ending money supply to keep replacing your tyres.. you can go less on the tyres but mainly for track use only, I would't reccomend it for street use though

Depends on how you ride. Softer gives you better traction, but more wear. Harder, well...gives you the opposite of that. I believe the manual states 40 psi (cold) front and rear. Right now I'm running 32 front, 34 rear.

yup, if you like to ride up on one wheel, lower pressure is better in the back tire, but for normal street riding, I would go with what the manual says to use.

but what bike are you on, and what kind of riding are you doing? stunting, racing, or just regular cruising?

I filled em up to spec, man they feel hard. No problems yet though.

it is always a good idea and highly recommended to split the pressure by two pounds from frount to rear. no matter if you like them soft or hard you need the two pound differance. I run a 929 with Q's 38 rear - 36 front.
I sencond what dragoniun25 says.

I ride 32/38. I've been doing more straight stuff lately and can see some rear squaring, thinking of bumping up. Otherwise I've got good traction on my well used D208's.
