high pressure = rougher ride but better fuel economy.
Low pressure = softer ride and less fuel economy.
However... under inflation OR over inflation can cause premature tire failure and can reduce your ability to control the car.
So... inflate the tires to the correct pressure as indicated in your car owner's manual

always always use the rating on the drivers side "sticker" it tells you the pressure the tires should be inflated too. NEVER ever go with the pressure recommendations that is on the tire. Always use what the OEM recommends.
in general high pressure gives you a firmer ride and tighter steering response. you'd use low pressure for either Off road or icy situations.

If you dont use the factory tire pressure specs you put your life a risk.The factory pressure is the best .To much harsh ride and poor control.To little heat buildup an blowout.Please use the factory tire spec.Never the max pressure on the side of the tire.

According to the RMA, all the tire manufacturers and all the vehicle manufacturers the tires should be inflated to whatever pressure is necessary to maintain the load capacity dictated by the vehicle manufacturer.
Since you didn't tell us year/make/model of vehicle, OE tire size, OE inflation pressure, and the load index of the tires you are currently using, I can not answer your question.

Well, I think everyone has answered the tire pressure question.
Now, your 20's...lets see... low profile so less sidewall for flex/ride comfort. They look real nice but ride stiff. Basic fact.

On a car, check the decal on the drivers side door and use that as a guide. Don't go more than 1 or 2 PSI above that number.
