RE: tires
If you're running something other than Stock, you're far better off to contact the manufacture of the tire for their proper specification pressure than to get "suggestions" from us.
for instance, I contacted Pirelli about their tire specification PSI for the Diablo Corsa III and to my surprise they want (not recommend WANT) the tires to be at 34 - 34.5 PSI front and back when you stop the bike. that is MUCH different that what Honda recommends for tire pressure on the stock tires. i suspect other manufactures will be similar.

How could Pirelli do this (assuming it's different from motorcycle mfctr spec's), unless they have a tire ONLY and SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR an individual cycle?

RE: tires
Ok, so its like 20 years ago, but I used to run Pirelli tyres (Phantoms) on my Kwaka Z650, the tyre pressure for the rear on my bike was fer instance (like I said over 20 years ago) 36 psi, Pirelli actually recommended 42- 45 psi for optimum performance (heat & adhesion & profile) but it was only a recommendation.
Maybe it was B*** S*** , but I ran em at 42 with no problems.
