Hi, the michelin pressure guide says 2.2 and 2.4 bar, converts to 32 and 35 psi, but I run mine a little harder at 34 and 38 psi.

I think I'm running 38/38 psi because I mainly commute with the bike. If it wasn't for the commuting and lack of tire availability, I'd probably try 36/36.....but I'm not very small, either, so a higher pressure is probably better (with full gear, I'm around 260 pounds).
