Drop down to 30 psi and see how they feel. I'm guessing 25/30 (F/R) is probably about right. My MTB has 2.35in tubeless tires that I run at 20/25 psi (30 psi min recommended, 160 lbs rider), without any issues. If you're a lighter rider, you basically have to go below the minimums, especially in front. Even at 20/25 the bike doesn't feel any slower than at 30+ psi, and the same for my road bike (75 psi on 23mm tires).

Pinch flats are more about riding style than tire pressure. I tend to be a fairly light rider, unweighting the saddle etc, and don't have many issues with pinch flats. If you're getting pinch flats, then definitely raise the pressure, but at some point you quickly start sacrificing ride quality.
