I run 38 psi on the front and 36 on the rear on my Viggen's feet
which are similar in size to what you have. I've used this pressure
on both the Continential ContiSport Contacts and the Dunlop SP2000's.
I would not run 30psi as it could cause damage to the rim if you
hit a pothole. Of course you can damage a rim anyways, but I suspect
it would be easier done with not much air in the tire.
On my 88 900T's 15" wheels, I use 38/35 on the studded hakkapelittas
and Yoko AVS tires on SPG wheels. I always check and adjust pressure
when the car has not been run and is inside my garage. When its outside,
the sun shining on one side of the car can make the pressure read higher
on that side, even though the same amount of air is in there.
