2010 FXSTC tire pressure?

My manual say 30 lbs. in the front and 42 lbs. in the rear. Rear I can understand, but 30 in the front seems quite low.

Any opinions on this?

Tks.

If your asking for opinions you'll get 18 thousand of them here...go with the manual recommendation.

I say look on the tire itself. It will have the MAX PSI stamped right there on every tire. Keep in mind that is the MAX....
I'm running the Dunlop 408 in the front with a max of 40PSI and I run 36-38 riding two up mostly. The Rear is a 200MM on my bike..a Dunlop 407 with a MAX of 42PSA I run 38-40PSI two up.
