I think the book says 36 front 40 rear. I run the front a little closer to 40.

Better read 'em to be sure.
My '11 RKC is 36 front, 40 rear.
Try a little baby powder on the side of the tire...
And, as always,

36 front, 40 rear. It's listed on the sticker of your front frame down tube.

36 and 40 for me. Never go by any PSI listed on the tire sidewall. That is the maximum pressure that tire will hold and is not meant to be a guide for normal running conditions.

How about looking in the owners manual? 36 front. 40 rear. Like some others, I run front a tad higher - around 38.

Easier to read there than the tires.
