[Ducati] Tire Pressures, bike vs tire mfg advice

[mo+omille]

Yes... cold.  Depending on how you ride... street v. canyon v.  
track.  pressure will rise from 2-6 psi...

I ran a lower rear because I always felt a V-twin ate up rears and  
really heated up the rear tire.  So basically on the track at temp  
they both balanced out around 35-36 psi.
