Umm, doesnt the lower number make bumps less harsher?
I had 33 before but that was harsh on bad roads here, by lowering the pressure you make it softer.

And increases your rolling resistance. That can negatively affect your fuel economy and vehicle handling.

Yes to a certain degree. My experience was the bigger bumps were more jarring with the pressure around 30-31.
