Car handles so much better now

I've been using 29 psi for my stock 15 inch tires since I've had the car but I just realized today that 29 psi is the recommended cold tire pressure and I put air in my tires at a gas station so the tires are already warm at that point. So today I put it up to 31 psi since the tires were warm and the car handles so much better. My tires used to squeal all the time if i took a corner a little hard but now they don't make a sound unless I push them really hard. My question is what is the best warm tire pressure for my tires?

Same here - I have 15X6.5 rims and hated the way the car handled with 29 PSI in the front. Now I run 32-33 PSI and love the ride and handling. way less tire squeal. Now if I can only get the rear wheels to co-operate....
