What a difference!!!

The cycle manufacturers have to balance handling, tire life, etc. when they set their recommendations for pressure. Just keep in mind that the max pressures listed on the sidewall are what's important. The manufacturer has no control over what vehicle their tire gets mounted on, so tires are rated by max load at max pressure cold. They are designed to gain pressure as they warm up on the road. Generally, running the max pressure will give you the longest tire life as well. I run 45 front and 50 rear all the time.
