I was riding 30 front and 32 rear for a while, than this season i did some research and am running 32 front and 35 rear, and I have to say it feels pretty nice, I think it might just be me but i feel that the bike is must more stable and made me feel very comfortable and a bit more confident. =).

It depends on the bike, your riding style, the ambient temperature, the tire manufacturer/model, how much you weigh and whether the groundhog saw his shadow or not that year.

My personal preference is 34R 36R.

Same as any other vehicle. You follow the manual or frame. The number on the tire is always the max although I think I've seen some that list the max and then also list a recommended pressure.

I'm running around 30-32 front and rear. R6 on metzeler M5.

Remember as your tire gets hot (spirited riding) your psi goes up.
