factory recommended tire pressure. I like my tires, improper inflation will wear your tires out faster.

Tell you the truth there arecouple of factors invloved with me whenI set my tire pressure.
1) time of year (weather, temp)
2) type of tire
3) passenger loads

If you only go in straight lines a lot, or daily commute, and you arent "tearing it up", you can run a little lower (around 38 or so) to give the tire a more even wear down the center, inturn, avoiding the cupping of the tire.

For street (Pilot Powers),I run 32 - 34 both front and rear (closer to 32 in winter months)

For track (Power Race), I run 29 -32 front and 23 rear (Power Race is different for the rear than other manufacturers/models so they run much lower).

On my Stock D218s, i run at Dunlop factory fpecifications. When i mount my DCIIIs, i'm going to run Pirelli's recommended pressure. If i where to get Pilot Powers, I'd run Michelin's reccomended tire pressure... See where i'm going with this?

Run what the Manufacture specifies. Not Honda, the tire manufacture. It takes some tweeking to get the right cold temp psi, but your hot temp PSI should always be the same.
