Thanks   this advice sounds about correct   Will  lower the rear to 45 PSI and try the 42 PSI in the front 

I was amazed at how good the ride was with the higher pressure  and the handling very good from what I could tell did not try and evasive maneuver 

Thanks again for all who chimed in I do read it all and it takes me a while to digest
