Start with standard pressures, which are 33 front and 36 rear and then adjust from there to suit how you ride... dont change them to much 1 or 2lbs will probably be enough for you to feel and evaluate the difference.

Hi - i have it on good authority that 36 front and 42 rear works fine accross the board. This came from a pirelli technician.
I have used this on all of my bikes and it works well.

34 and 38 i'm currently running but 35 and 40 felt better but shagged chain didn't like it so i'm back at 34/38.

As long as the rear is 3-6psi more than the front it should be fine but it also depends on how the front end behaves too.

might be fine for Pirelli, but Avons are 33 36.

They feel carp any higher to be honest.
