Recommended tires pressure with passenger

Picking up a young lady for a short twisty ride later. I'm a buck 1.70 and she's a buck 1.10. What is the ideal psi for F/R? Thanks

Check your owners manual. There will a recommended range. Set near the maximum end of the range.

Run your normal pressures. Save the pumping and blowing for after the ride.

The most accurate information would come from a tire maker, like Michelin or Metzler etc.

The tire pressure shown on my bike are about 3-4 pounds lower than the tire makers recommendation. When I changed to the tire makers my handling and tire life both increased.
