Why run so low? I run the Pilots at 37 front and rear with no slide issues.

when i took the stt trackday they stated that was the perferred tire pressure for these tires, i tried it and it worked and i have experimented with other pressures and found 32 to be the magic number for me

32 in the PP's is perfect for my style of riding.

I ran my PP's at 28 for the track. They stuck like glue. 37 on the street and you're the golden goose.

32 works for me, but I ride real aggressive for the street. I know a track day will change that though.

I ran them at 36 when I first got the bike. It seems to stiff for me(My forks are non adjustable) so less tire pressure gives me a better ride.

I see. I ran them lower when I first got them. Then someone told me to increase the pressure. I get the same handling with slower wear.
