What Tire Pressure?

What tire pressure are you guys running with the run flats? I have the Continentals which are were set to 41/2 by the dealer which is in line with the door jamb sticker. But the ride is pretty stiff and am wondering if dropping a few psi is a good idea or if that will compromise handling too much and I know RFTs are supposed to be a little higher pressure.

Look under the fuel filler door for the correct pressures. The ones on the door are for maximum loads.

It looks like the gas cap door gives a pretty big variance between front/rear on the lighter load guide (which is still 3 passengers + luggage). 42 in front and 33 in the rear. Does that seem right? Maybe I should do something like 38/36.

I run 36 PSI all around for this unusually cold California weather.
