Default tire pressure question?

i have dunlop sportmax qualifiers and i was wondering what tired pressure you guys usually ride with on the street in about 75-90 deg. weather. on the tire it says 42 psi cold undermax load but that seems kinda high to me. im only 145 lbs. i checked my pressure right now and it was at 22 psi. we have had 40 deg. weather one night then durning the day its like 75.

The shop book calls for 36 in the front and 42 in the rear

Correct, but every tire manufacture has a different recommendation. I might be at 42, I have to go check

I have 2ct's and run the front at 32 and rear at 34. I think it all depends on the rider and what that rider feels best with. I think my buddy rides with the qualifiers and has them at 32 front and rear...

for street riding. 35, 35 and your golden. 42 psi in the rear is only if you have a passenger.
