Default ...recommended tyre pressures

To add my 10p worth. I am approaching 6k miles and have worn the shoulders off my Goodyear tyres too. I was warned - as I drove away - by the dealer to keep a regular check on the tyres pressures - so I am guessing he knew about the issue. Sadly I didn't check them for 5k miles since the car is driven by my good lady on a daily basis. When I did the were rather low - 35F and 38R. I read p341 of the owners manual and was surprised to see the recommendation was to keep the tyre pressure set as for a maximum load - 44F and 49R. So I am guessing that my issue has been low pressures - though the gist of this thread might suggest otherwise. Anyway I will keep you all posted on my "new" settings and see what comes of it all.

Great car though - might do with a suspension drop I am thinking - anyone out there done this yet and how has that affected the tyres?
