30 / 30 front rear for the average size rider, if you are a light weight (I mean it!) you can go 28/29 if you are a heavy weight 31/33 max!!

Chaps,

As the Capt states, its weight dependant but i run 30 / 30 and its great, tried 32 rear and it was awful, but start at 30 / 30 and work from there.

Cheers

WB

Please note that with all tyres in all vehicle but specially with bikes, which are put to greater degrees of stress, (quick start/stop heavy braking - leaning in corners etc) the air in your tyres tends to dissolve, you don't notice it that often but it would be safe to say that you should check your tyres pressure at least once a week if you want to avoid squaring or edging your tyres prematurely by running an incorrect (lower) pressure.
