Tyre Pressures

I'm currently riding a hybrid with 700 x 38c tyres inflated to the max 70 psi front and rear.

I've been feeling on some rougher patches of road with lots of small dips and seams in road that the front is very light and almost out of control.

Found the 15 % tire drop online and decided to give it a go. Figures came out at 67 psi rear and 44 psi front.

Decided to go 70 rear and 50 front this week and see how it goes.

Anyone have any experience of either overinflation or the 15% drop method.

Novice commuter anyone with a more experienced opinion would be welcomed.
