42 all around.

Somebody once posted what the ideal pressures should be based on vehicle weight and drivetrain layout. I remember something about a 2 psi difference between front and rear (like SkiLLzSter), but I can't remember which was higher.

You aren't supposed to max them out... if you do that and the temperature goes higher than the temp when you filled them, you'll over pressurize them. Take some out.
I was under the impression it was 2 psi per inch larger the rim is over the stock recommended pressure.
