Good afternoon from a sunny London (not often I can say that).

anyone recommend tyre pressures for street riding. Looked online and have seen anything from 36F42R to 33F30R.

Guidance would be appreciated

Toro and out. ;-)
 
On nice smooth 3rd gear roads. I do 30 rear and 33 front with a maximum cornering speed of 80 US mph. Nice feel and grippy with the the stock tires.

If you know the road has rim bending potholes, I air up 2psi f and r.

I love these tires.
 
Appreciated gents for the feedback. Will try 36/36 and tweak from there.
 
This guy is pretty interesting. Ausi, Dave Moss. He does suspension set ups for a lot of racers in California.
"Recommended Motorcycle Tire Pressures are Wrong" <-- video

I got the official from Ducati "30psi rear and 33 front" street; 26 rear and 30 front track measuring cold tires on a warm day.
Most default specs start with a "prototype persona." I think it's 165 lbs, ~6 foot for the Panigale. Typical mannequin. Need to confirm.
But as in the video - depends on your weight, riding feel preferences etc. also the weather.
 
in the un-united states the tire pressure label states for a single rider 33.4 psi front and 36.3 psi rear (230 and 250 kPa).

i have a few gauges and they deviate in that precision vs accuracy realm of instrumentation.

Some rides incur an elevation change of 4300' (1.3km) which is an increase of around 2psi of gauge/gage pressure.

an overinflated front gets pushy, the inside of the lower fairings fill with coffee ground looking rubber bits and the pegs/boots are covered in coal dust.
