Until recently, I ran 35F/39R as recommended on the car's door sticker for the original staggered PSS'.
I'm now running 35 psi all around on PS4S', and the car feels more of a piece. However, I have a bunch of modifications, too, including the same size tires front and rear.
If I was taking an interstate road trip, I'd probably raise them to 38 psi and see what it did for the car's mileage.
My thinking is that it doesn't hurt to experiment if you're able to sense how the tires are responding to the pressures you're setting them to. That's not hard to do if you've got some place where you can lean on the car and see how it responds in both the front and the rear.
