Correct Tire Pressure

Howdy!
I just turned 1000 miles on my new P/W MCSC and I was wondering what the proper tire pressure should be. It is equiped with Dunlop runflats size 195/55r16 87v tires and came from the dealer with 36lbs of pressure. I see the sticker on the door jamb says the corrrect inflation should be 30lbs. This seems to be quite a difference. Any opinions would be welcome.

Thanks.

30 will give you a bit softer ride...

and the pressures you're running will get a bit better milage. Anywhere in that range is fine, just do what feels best to you.
