Tire Pressure

I put a set of Goodyear 275-45-20's on my supercrew and was looking to find out what tire pressure you run in your HD's. I'd appreciate the info.

I think factory recommended is 35 or 36. People recommend not to go over 38.

on the door it says 35 psi i believe, and on the tire it says 42 i think.
after alot of reading, and testing myself, 39 seems to be the magic #

I guess i'm blind but I looked several times in the owners manual for the wheel lug nut torque and could not find it. Aluminum wheels seem to be around 80 ft. lbs. so I'll start there. If anyone knows what they should be please let me know.
Thanks.

My truck isn't a harley, but check the inside of the fuel door. Mine has a little sticker that tells you what the pressure should be hidden on the inside of the fuel door.
