<p>I always start with 32 rear 30 in the front as a baseline and adjust after a lap on the course. </p>
<p>I generally adjust not on dry/wet but instead on how bumpy or how low the course will allow me to get away with. I rarely go lower than 30 in the rear 28 in the front and rarely above 34 front and rear.</p>

<p>The tire pressure question rears its head...</p>
<p>Me: 5'10", 130 pounds soaking wet.</p>
<p>Tires: Challenge Grifo 32 Tubulars.</p>
<p>Dry and flat, I usually go around 28 in front, 30 rear.</p>
<p>Dry and bumpy, I'll go 24 front, 26-28 rear.</p>
<p>Wet, maybe 20 in front, 22 rear.</p>
<p>I could definitely get away with less pressure, but I always worry about bashing my rims.</p>
