I'm going by the book, and guidance of my dealer. I am running Proxes, and have 22lbs Front / 24lbs rear.

I might be tempted to stick in a couple more PSI in both if doing long high-speed running.

Agreed. IMO a couple of psi higher is the right thing to do. It's all opinion and dealers aren't always knowledgeable about things non-standard. I've tried Toyo's at 22/24 and found the front a bit soft and unbalance on undulating corners. I added a couple of psi and improvement was evident. I will be trying 26psi in the fronts next outing to see if I get further improvement.

Best thing to do is to try the car at different pressures on a road that properly tests cornering when loaded and unloaded and don't blindly believe what you are told or read.
