On average what PSI are you guys running, as I know each tire and rider will vary on what PSI are in the tires. Do you run the same PSI front and rear? Please give brand of tire and riding style such as daily driving, aggressive street riding, or track riding.

aggressive street riding and i usually run 32psi in back n 36 up front on my metzlers sport tech m1s

I used to run really low pressures on the street and road course. But my sister had me try and run my diablos at the manu recommended PSI and they feel great. I was under the impression that the lower pressures put more surface on the ground safely. I never went down running the lower pressures but i did go through rubbers fast. I was runnin about 28-30 in the front and around 27-30 in the rear.

run std road unless your on the track lads!!
36-42

Well I should clear up what I meant about aggressive road riding. This IMO is back road riding and canyon riding not so much breaking speed limits and other laws. Daily driving was directed towards stop and go driving through the city where traction is second to tire life to some if that makes sense? Please keep the comments coming.

This is the pressure I run at on my Blade's Michelin PPs on a daily basis. I'll drop down 6 psi both tires if I plan on getting twisty in the canyons.

36 front, 42 rear are Honda recomendations. I run this if I'm 2up or carrying my bags on a trip. Otherwise I run 34 front, 36 rear. The lower the pressures the hotter the tyre becomes and the quicker the tyre will wear.

I don't street my RC51 but Honda recommends 36F/42R on my VFR as well. That's just way too hard for anything but daily commuting/long distance slabbing. I run 32F/36R on it for weekend jaunts in the hills, and at that pressure get good feedback. I think you can probably run a few pounds softer than recommended on the RC51 and get favorable results, too.

On the track I run 28F/30R on the RC51 with Street/DOT tires. Haven't had slicks on it yet but those pressures will be very different due to the construction of race tires. The Dunlop NTECs should be run with 22 lbs in the rear, I hear. Now that's a stiff sidewall!

Yikes- that thing's gotta be a bear to mount!

Right now I'm running 34/36. Seems to be ok. I get good feedback and they wear decent. Was thinking of going with the recommended pressures but, that seems too much. I run 34/34 on my 07 CBR1000RR. Same tires too!

Pirelli tire rep recommended 34/34 at the track for my diablo rossos. Seemed to work pretty well...

also the RC responded quite good to the Rossos.
Same for D209.
