I mounted the recommended Michelin PR2's....but what pressure should I run them at?

Do I run them at the "manual" but that assumes older tire technology. What do you guys run?

Thanks,
Joe

I saw a article on how to determine the best tire pressures for you and your bike by experimentation - setting a cold pressure, going for a run to heat 'em up, and taking the pressures again and adjusting, but I can't find it again. Anyone know the one that I'm talking about and where to find it?

38F 40 R - Almost as big - keep front pressures up to ward off rim dents when you hit the big pot hole at night.
