I run 34F 36R
40ish Psi sounds too high to me.
I run 34-36 all around.

I would say check your door jam, there's a sticker there that states the recommended TP (mine says 38PSI Front and 44PSI Rear) I try to keep mine as close to that as possible.

overinflating the RFTs by 2-3 psi's more than what the manual says actually makes them a little softer. When I ran those tires at all corners, I went by what the manual said. Now I have RFTs up front with 34 and non-RFTs in the back with 40psi. Works best for me, but mine's not staggered and I have an Xi.
