I know almost nothing about tires/pressure/handling etc -- but why wouldn't 
higher pressure up front give you more oversteer rather than less?

Seems like higher tire pressure would give a tire more grip.  I recall when 
I had my old Fiat I would crank up the front tire pressure to counter it's 
pronounced understeer.

That said -- I too run about 4 lbs more in the front tires of the TR -- but 
then I like oversteer.
