Manual says fronts are always 30psi irrespective of loading - that works fine for me
Manual says Rears should be 48psi (normal loads) and 65psi (fully laden) If you do that you'll have no fillings left I use 40 psi in the rears normally...would increase that if I was carrying heavy loads for long distances.

You can get a pice of chalk, mark across tyre, drive half a mile and see where it wearing and inflate/deflate to adjust. This gives optimum pressure for your weight.
Obviously doesn't work when it's raining! |

Yep 30 at the front and 40-42 ish at the back. 48 seems crazy. After 24k kms the wear on my back tyres is even. In fact they've hardly worn at all.
