Hmmmm... I've been using 32 front/rear for years. Awesome handling. I can 
rotate the car on exit ramps (it's great to see your passenger WIDE-EYED 
as you drive a sweeperwith neutral steering!!)

The lower pressure (stock settings) in the front reduces understeer.

But also note that if you change to something other than Michelin X's or 
the standard Goodyear G800's, the pressures on the door don't matter one 
iota. They're a guideline once the OEM tires are gone.

TR6's
One with gonzo Yoko A509's 215/65-15 (32/32)
One with Hoosier Bias slicks 23x9x15 (34/34) <- this one rotates "real 
nice")
