Proper Tire Inflation

edit: I know I said I wouldn't reply, and I just didn't see a reason to withhold this information.
I keep my Yokohama Avid Touring tires inflated 44 front, 40 back.
Over 44 and ride starts to get too harsh.

At 44 front, 40 rear the front and rear both have the same small amount of sidewall bulge.

I gotta try the chalk test. I expect it could reveal wheel alignment issues too.
