A digital tire pressure gauge is your friend. Make sure your tires are at equal pressures. At least left to right. Front and rear you might want to mess with different pressures to get certain effects. But I tend to leave it all the same for standard driving.

Some use more pressure in the rear for more straightaway speed / acceleration , but this makes you loose rear grip traction , so its more safe to run the rear tire the same as the fronts on the street. If you goto the 1/4 mile track its ok to try , then relieve pressure before driving home.

-- Also some use lower tire pressures in the rear for more rear grip if it tends to slide in corners.
