Me too.tried a few differing points of view from various places,but the OE pressure work well for me.
I might add I do them when the tyres are up to temp

Depend what tyres your running i,m on vederstiens at the moment and they recomend 41psi i found this to be to light on the steering found 38psi to be just right . When i went for oe pressures it just didnt handle atall well in the bends suppose though if you are running contis then the oe recomendation will be right for them tyres

What! 41 and 38! surely not. That is excessive, not only will it wear the centre section but your grip levels will be somewhat compromised. Those pressures are what we used to use on trackdays back in the 80's before tyre technology improved.

No mick i,m not running 41 i,m running 38 all round if you look on veds website they recomend 41 psi but i found that a little to much the steering was very light at 38 it feels wright and handles fine, At 33 it felt like the tyres were giving on the walls when cornering quick my contis were fine on cornering at 33 psi but my veds just felt rubbish at that pressure

Even at 38 seems high, still got your teeth? lol! I've pumped up my Toyo's a little more this time and get a better feel, but they are around the 33/34 mark.

I have a feeling the Vreds work differently.I know paul on XPF loves them & he uses similar pressures to Ian.
If I put that pressure in my Avons I would feel like Bamby on ice lol
