Tire pressures are like oil opinions. Everyone has one that works for them under their own circumstances and riding habits/needs. With Lynda's GZ I set the rear at 33 and the front about 3 over specs. This gave good handling and excellant tire wear. The tires looked very good after 12,000kms/7450 miles. The recommended pressures are for OEM tires. A little experimenting with other makes of tires might make a world of difference.
