have a play using the standard pressure, higher pressures give an increase in handling until a pint when the tyre's contact patch is reduced

Check with the tyre manufacturer for his recommendations

Does it?? Must have been doing it wrong all those times with lower pressure to increase in grip/handling

Where? Do all tyre manufacturers make 1 size of tyre to fit 1 make and model of vehicle?

You're getting confused with the maximum pressure marking.

That's interesting, I've always found the opposite, here's a good article:
www.modified.com/tech/...ewall.html

Part of it says:
How does a tuner manipulate tire loading and slip angle? By tweaking the spring rates, anti-roll bar rates, tire sizing and pressure, and to a lesser degree, the shock damping. The first option a tuner has is to increase the tire pressure. The harder a tire is inflated, within reason, the smaller slip angle it develops. In the case of a nose-heavy front-wheel-drive car, if you add several psi to the front tires and take some pressure out of the rear, the front tires will run a smaller slip angle while the rear tires' slip angle will increase. This alone can do quite a bit to reduce understeer.

So it's saying you can make the back 'looser' by running less pressure and make the front grip better by running more pressure.
