I usually run my tubless at 30 rear and about 25 front

I have no idea of what tubeless rims/tyres should be ran on
Tubed - I use the figures quoted in the Lambretta Owners Manuals (both SIL and Innocenti)
Front 18 PSI
Rear 28 PSI Solo
32 PSI Pillion
Tyre sizes and tubes have not changed, fundamentally the bike weight etc has not changed, the above figures will have allowance for light/heavy rider so I see no reason to change.
Ive never seen a manufacturer of a tyre give a specific pressure for a specific vehicle - that's the vehicle manufacturers job based on size/weight etc of the vehicle.
A 350x10 tyre is used on loads of different bikes and all will have a different pressure - Vespa use the same size tyre but have slightly different pressure recommendations - again from P200 owners manual Front 18 PSI, Rear 26 PSI Solo, Rear 36 PSI Pillion

I apply the above pressures to all manufactures tyres of 350x10 I use on a lambrettaTimbo wrote:A lot depends on your tyres and manufacturers reccomendation....

Schwalbes did! That's one of the reasons there was lots of problems with their tyres, being run under inflated.
