probably the best advice to get is from the place where you normally buy your tyres. Tell the dude what sort of riding you do, and he will fit the right ones for you.

Tyres are a really 'personal' thing, what works for your mate may not work for you and vice versa.

being that i havent ridden one of these, let alone owned one..id suggest u take my advice :P

seriously..find a goof reputable tyre guy ..ask him his opinion...i personally dont like dunlops....

as for pressures... the tyre will give u a reccomended setting... set that and see how it feels... if its feels like its not turning and its sluggish, add a couple of PSI to the front...if it feels skittish and like the front is moving, drop a couple... see where that gets u...
