Have a play about with them, m8. I've varied my pressues (at different times of the year as well) - anywhere from around 27 to 33 PSI on different axles. Imo, it does change the 'feel' of the car in a subtle way.

Personally, I run on 33 up front and 31 on the rears.

Yikes! I bet that was 'entertaining' - lol! Tried that once when I had the PGGT and it felt like I was driving on ball-bearings. Proper over-inflation.
