Daily driver, I personally like it around 32ish. But I tell you, it's almost like night and day going form 32-30PSI's
Well I feel it anyway.

I keep my tires at 35 all around. i ride on the stock 15's. it gives a firm ride and good handling i think. if i set it at 30 won't it be softer because of less pressure, thus resulting in a "cushier smoother" ride?

H3NDR1X15, you need to edit your User CP area to include a location, at least a state. Yes, it's mandatory.

Don't underinflate them too much... will eat your gas mileage and mess with tire wear. I run 33PSI all the time, I recommend checking it a lot. Changes in temperature change the tire pressure.

Thanks alot for the info. I had my tires at 28. When I get my car back from the transmission place I will see if it fixes the problem.
