Hi Ray, My book advises 34psi front, & yes I also remember folks reporting better handling at 1-2 lbs over at the font. Need to know as getting new front tyre on Monday.
 
38 was much better than 34 for me. Felt more planted and did not hop at all. 40 got a bit of hop-so 38 was it.
 
I'm running 38 front and rear, it just feels better to me ... no other particular reason.
I have an Avon Cobra on the front and one of those **** Metzlers on the rear for just a little while longer. Love the Avon and you all know how I feel about Metz. lol

Don't they use BAR's ya'lls way?? 42 lbs front is a little bumpy but will drop a couple. Dink says 38 lbs. 36 rear gives room for heat up.
 
42R, 38F. Mechanic advised front would wear better at higher pressure. Handle well. The real difference is the Progressive shocks and they are *****in' smooth at speed in corners. Thanks again to the very nice gentlemean that sold them to me. I am Really enjoying them now.

On the road again, see ya later.
 
Anything that gets rid of those factory dump-truck springs is an improvement! lol
