Same tire pressures, have heard (this is my first experience with Avon) that the tire is awesome in the rain, warms up quick, and is long lasting. Tire max on sidewall is 42 psi.
I am currently running 30f 34r but could run them higher, but I like how they feel at this pressure (great feedback and awesome grip). The Pirelli's never had good grip and always felt vague. I have not got a tank run out yet to see how much better, if any, the mpg will be.

Had the bike dyno jetted yesterday, as I just got it close and rode it for 8 years!
Ended up coming down 2 on the main so this will influence the results.

Always considered my bike the 'fun' in life, so it's very hard for me to ride like I drive, in terms of acceleration and braking, I do mind the speed limits though. It is very difficult to pull the clutch in and coast, but I'm working on it....
