Just keep in mind the recommended tire pressure is for max load. If your not maxing your bike out, you can run less pressure. If your not a corner carving nut yet, then running the max pressure will be ok. Its only when you start getting better on corners that you should lower the pressure to get better traction. I currently run around 32 rear 30 front and my bike is happy there. Just remember every bike is different and likes different pressures. one or two pounds of pressure can make or break a bikes handling when you start pushing it.
