Blizzak tire inflation on C300 sport

I have put a set of non-staggered WS70s on my C300 Sport for winter. The door label gives me a recommended tire pressure of 30 front 35 rear. I am wondering if this staggered tire pressure is specific to a staggered wheel set up and if I should be running all tires with the same pressure with the winter set up. What do those of you with non-staggered C300s do?

I have mine at 36 psi at all 4 corners. I'm running Blizzak LM-60's.

Our local specialist recommends about 10-15% higher pressure with Blizzaks. My so uses this and likes it. It makes the tire narrower, good for design and purpose in snow and makes the car handle more crisply generally. It is amazing how pliant the rubber is even in freezing temps while not wearing as much as expected.

Also the tires tend to lose less air in colder temps, our observation.

Thanks guys. Mistersir, are you running the same in all 4 corners despite the recommendations on the door placard, or does your door placard recommend same pressure in all 4?
