I'd suggest 30psi front, 28 rear, if unladen. If carrying passengers, make it 32 front, 29 rear. That's what I go for with those tires.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

The official spec is 31.5 psi at the front and 28.5 psi at the rear for up to 3 passengers.
