Geeze, I don't know... there really isn't any 'established' tire pressure per se. Consider the variables... loaded weight of bike, weight of rider and/or pillion, weather (hot/cold), driving conditions (wet, dry, straight, curvy), riding style (aggressive, non-aggressive), city/highway, blah, blah, blah and on and on and on. Over-inflation will wear the centre out prematurely, yet pressurizing slightly higher than manufacturer's recommendations may prevent cupping (see article on the subject of cupping.

Experience will tell you the optimum pressure for your bike. But I find if I generally go by the manufacturer's recommendations, I'm at least in the ball park. Add some air for weight... take a little out for hot weather/pavement and so on. In time we all develop a 'feel' for optimum tire pressure... or we just dial in something close and ride, baby ride!!!!!!
