Usually run 40 all around and have found that to be good. An instructor with BMW GVC at Watkins Glen discussed this topic. He stated that higher pressures were mainly pre-low profile tire era adjustments to minimize roll over. He suggested staying with the recommended pressures as higher pressure reduces contact patch. I then tried 36 front and 38 rear and did not like the feel. Too mushy even when tires heated and increased in pressure.
I'll keep them lower in the wet though.
