Default .2 Turbo tire pressure

Just curious what tire pressures you .2 Turbo owners are running on the street. My door sill says 37/44 front and back and that's generally what I've been running.

Noticed the Potenza RE050As I have on the car are max pressure rated at 50psi.

Buddy tells me his 996tt handled best at a lower pressure... think 34/40 is what he said.
best,
john

Those pressure are for 4 occupants with luggage. I believe the street pressures can be found in the owner's manual. That's what I am running, and it gives me a nice compromise between performance and comfort, in my experience.
