I drive at a low pressure 1.9 at the back and 2.0 at the front. I started off with 2.6 or so in all tires, but with so much pressure the tire-surface wasn't used totally.
But you have to be aware of going to low. When I exit a highway road at full speed the fronttire on the outside bends a little so afterwards I can see tarmac marks on the letters. If this goes to far there is a chance you hit the wheel to the tarmac.
So with 215/35 you have to go a little higher. 2.2 or so ?
Do some good laps around the block and look at the wearing of the tires, and than (if necessary) adjust the pressure.

I run mine on the highest level suggested on the diesel flap - i.e. the one for a fully loaded car. I like to keep them hard and hopefully the rolling resistance as low as possible as i'm mpg mad. I do keep an eye on them to make sure i'm not wearing them out unevenly though.

doesnt that make the handling more wobbly?
