Recommended vs user tire pressure

The recommended tire pressure for the 16" wheel/tire is 30 lbs, and for the 17" wheel/tire it's 35 lbs. I have the 2LT model w/17" wheels and the dealer has set all 4 tires at 33 lbs. Just curious what tire pressures other folks are running theirs at respectively (16" and 17"). The ride is stiff enough with the sport suspension as it is and was thinking about dropping my tire pressures from 33 to 30 lbs to soften the ride somewhat.

Best to stick with the recommended pressures. If you run them lower, expect shorter tire life and less gas mileage.
