Default Best Tire Pressure?

Does anyone run their tires lower than 35psi to get better performance?

I know the manual states 35 psi, but I figure if you drive the car hard that probably gets up to about 37-38 psi and that seems a bit high.

Does anyone run lower than 35psi on a regular basis. I know it depends on weather as well, but assume the weather is like 60-80 degrees, with stock Bridgestone RE 050A's

optiminal performance varies from tire to tire, but i do know that optimal pressure when hot is around 38 on the front and a psi or two lower in the rear. The only time i would suggest running lower pressure(cold tires) is when its being driving to the point the tires are getting over 40 PSI hot (track)

30 psi, due to the harsh ride (i.e. to reduce the jarring effect caused by Puertorrican roads/politicians!) I've been doing it for over a year and, so far, no problemo.
