On the road run the pressures in your handbook. If these differ from the tyre makers recommendation, go with the tyre manufacturer. If you’re riding in really hot weather drop the cold pressures a bit. On the track you’re looking for about 36 psi hot with road tyres, this translates to 30-31 cold in the front and 29 cold in the rear.
With road legal race tyres, recommended pressures vary a lot, so check with your supplier. The latest Dunlop and Bridgestone race tyres, for example, run at 18-22psi hot in the rear! Don’t ask your mate the bricklayer, ask the manufacturer or tyre dealer.
