The car is wearing Bridgestone Turanza P225/55R17 rubbers and they're all currently around 30psi, but I don't know if this is right or not...

I had encountered the same problem several months ago, but I was able to locate the information over a website that shows recommended pressure for different tires for specific car makes and models. If I remember correctly , the recommended pressure was 30/32 psi for rear/front tires. The recommended pressure vary from summer to winter by 2 psi. I was driving around with 36 psi, considering that a safe tire pressure Vs maximum pressure of 40 or 44 psi that the tire was rated for. But the ride felt wobbly and I realized that the dealer was right when he warned me that I have set the pressure too high.
