Here is the Dunlop recommendation we used at the tyre tests in November
start pressures ( cold )
Front: 2.1 bar. 31 psi
Rear: 1.9 bar 28 psi


A bit more info re tyres taken from the tests over the last two years

Tyre Weights
Make Model 120/70/17 160/60/17

Dunlop Quallifier Fr = 4.0kg, Rr = 5.6kg
Pirelli Diablo Fr = 4.0kg, Rr = 5.4kg
Pirelli Rosso Fr = 4.1kg, Rr = 5.9kg
Maxxis Fr = 4.3kg, Rr = 6.1kg
