what to do?

thank you
Your Owner's manual should specify pressures of 32 psi Front and 35 psi Rear for those tires at sustained speeds of under 100 mph with an average load.. the F/B differential is important. My 35i handles significantly better at 34 F and 37 R.

For higher loads (more than 3 pass.) or for higher speeds, the pressures should be raised, but you should still maintain the F/B difference.
