I keep mine between 39 and 41 , have ticked over 31000kms (pilot road 4 GTs)I try to keep mine between 36-38 psi.
I found the recommended 42 on the front made the steering feel really heavy and it didn't want to drop into corners so I dropped it back to 36 front and kept the 42 on the rear and it feels loads better but it may be that those are just the pressures that suit my riding style (if you can call it style )Factory proposals are just fine for me 42 42

Just my impression of how it felt caspernez, Ive always run 36 psi at the front but my tire fitter said the manufacturers now recommend 42 psi front and rear so that's what he put in. It didn't feel right to me so I reduced it to 36 in the front and she was back to her usual self. Maybe just what Ive been used too and I've never felt a reluctance for her to tip in until then. Each to their own I guess.That's some weird logic there, lower front pressure will make the steering slower, whereas you're explaining it the other way around?
Most of us solve (partly) the reluctance to tip in by moving to a 55 section rear tyre.
The more pressure you use the lighter steering you get AND easyer leaning.Also more confident braking.On the other hand more warming time and faster tire wear at the centerI found the recommended 42 on the front made the steering feel really heavy and it didn't want to drop into corners so I dropped it back to 36 front and kept the 42 on the rear and it feels loads better but it may be that those are just the pressures that suit my riding style (if you can call it style )
