Most people get the feeling that the side is actually a bit softer than some DOT race tires. I get that feeling when driving them. The lighter the car, the stiffer they will feel.
38-44psi is on the high side, but if your setup allows you turn faster lap times, then do it. The stopwatch doesn't lie. If I ran mine that high, I would be slipping all over the place.
