IMHO tyre pressures are a funny beast and what's good for one owner might not be good for another. Whilst the standard tyre pressures are a good guide, personally I think they should be just that -- a guide.
I like a hard ride (boom boom!) but without sacrificing too much grip and adverse wear. Running higher pressures, every month I record tyre tread depth so I can make adjustments if necessary. Fortunately on both my MR2 and Impreza I'm running higher pressures and tyre wear is even over every rubber boot.
On my Scooby I'm running 35 psi front and 33 psi rear, if my memory serves me correctly. With standard pressures I find the ride and handling is wobblier than a weeble on a wobbly day.
Hope this helps.

Jonty.
