runflat air pressure?

Can i lower the psi to about 34psi for a better ride. I have 5k and the tires still look new and i have rotated them once.

I'd stick with what the door panel says to use but you can lower the pressure but at the expense of possible quicker tire wear and pourer gas mileage..
I've got 205/50/16's (summer tires) and run 35#'s.
