ZX12R tyre psi

When I was running 207's Dunlop said 42psi front and rear.It ate rear tyres 1400mls EEK.I've since been running Pilots and the first set the tyre firm said 36psi front and rear but I've just fitted a new Pilot rear at another supplier and they recommend 42psi.The kwack book says 42 psi....what are you guys running then at.

Depending on weather as well as the conditions of both the tires and roads...

front - 35~38 (avg. 36)
rear - 36~40 (avg. 36)

OOPS! I should mention the tires, huh? Pilot Sports 120/65 (or 70) & 180/55.

At 42 psi you definitly will wear out the tire fast. Afterall you will be running on the middle and nothing else!

35 pounds works pretty well on the Dunlops.
