I run 40 front/rear too. They are great tires that grip well. I'm going to order their 18" sidecar tire too. [\\]

38F, 44R.&nbsp\\; That's what the Avon website suggests and what I run on my 07 RKC.&nbsp\\; I talked with Avon rep at show last winter and he mentioned&nbsp\\;the higher psi as compared to the stock Dunlops.

Max pressure is 50 psi, we usually run about 44psi on the rears.
