I'm running the same tires, and I love them. But i've had the same question!! Do you adjust the air pressure for canyon riding vs. highway?

Re: Michelin tire pressures?

I run 32 front 30 rear on the street.

Track tires are more like 28 front and 26 rear before warmers.

Re: Michelin tire pressures?

hot pressures?? you realize one mans "hot" is another mans "cold". You cant claim "hot" pressures without tire temps. Doubtful most riders carry a temp probe or pyrometer.
A michelin trackside vendor once told me 30/30 to start and adjust as necessary. Then I read some guy that claims to have sold 50 sets of those tires claims pressures of 37 or higher for track pressures.

My personal experience on a bone stock 2007 R6 is:
Front
31 psi front (track or street) Highway slab crusing add a few lbs more

Rear:
aggressive track 23psi
Highway slab cruising 40psi for long life

All pressures quoted cold at 50-80 degrees ambient.
