Follow manufacturers recommendation of 22PSI for both front back back?

I put 3 1 oz. spoke weights opposite the rim lock to balance my tubliss setup. Also run 6 oz. of Slime in the tires. They aren't perfect, but they are good enough for speeds up to 70 mph, which is faster than I need to go on this bike...

I guess nobody want to answer my question about balancing tires
I would assume that it's a good idea to do it with Supermotos but since I have dual sport knobbies would it be worth getting them balanced? And if so, where would I go to have it done? Any tire installation place?

I ride on the road & dirt.
You will need to get your wheels balanced if you ride on the road over 45mph. I had to put 2 rim locks on each wheel to get the wheels close enough to balance at the shop. I have the moto shop do it, if you don't have access to a shop, you can order a self balancing stand or something I believe or build your own.
If you ride on trails with rocks, getting a heavy walled dirt tire is desired over the squishy walled stock DS tires. My DS tires collapsed to the rim when I would hit rocks at low pressure.

Cool, I wasn't sure what the general rule of thumb was with dirt bikes. I know with cars that it's important to follow whatever the manufacturer recommends in the door jam.
By the way, does anyone in here get their tires balanced? Is it even possible to balance dirt bike tires?

I used No-Mar Re-useable wheel weights. Works great.

This is a huge revelation for me. Seriously. It was almost becoming a nuisance to go highway speeds because I didn't feel steady at all. I dreaded riding on the highway. Hopefully once I get these balanced out it will make a world of difference and I will feel more comfortable riding at highway speeds.

And that woodstick in your chain guide was copied from where?
