Tire Pressure?

I have a 97 850-R with 205-45-17's and I run 36 all the way around. I also rotate every 5000 miles. 41 is way too much. It will make your rolling resistance quite nice, but the tires will ride harsh and wear quicker.

What kind of tires are they? I used to run Khumo Ecsta's and had balance and wear issues all of the time. I now run Falkens with zero issues and they are inexpensive too.
