Somebody else asked about weight distribution.

As far as air pressure, the technical answer is "it depends on how much load the tire is carrying"....
The Bicycle Quarterly "15% drop" figure takes the individual tire load into account, although you may need a second person's help with doing that correctly.

I generally always inflate my tires always enough, but not too much. Most of the time.
