Like many of you I have the 275/30/19 rears and 245/35/19 fronts.
I have opted to go 2.4 bar fronts and 2.8 bar in rears as this is in the middle of the laden/unladen pressure recommendations..
What do you guys use..? I'd noticed some scuffing on the outer ege of the fronts and wondered if they'd been under-inflated...?

I personally like a bit more pressure in the front than the recommended, I'd suggest adding a little and see if you like it... The outer edge will scuff whatever just due to turning...
Unladen I use 2.3 front, and 2.6 rear, and i've had excellent wear after one year.

2.5 front and 3.0 rear.
But as said try your way out.
Remember that in cold temps the pressures do go down a lot,
and the tyres do not work as they are planned to do.
Under + 10 C problems will occure.
