Understanding Tyre Specifications

I Reduced tyre pressure from 2 bar to 1.8 bar.
I know it is too low. I am aware of long term consequences such as premature wear, increased fuel consumption, reduced steering response and etc. But this way it is too nice to drive :)
Currently i am having Yokohama Geolandar H/T G039 265/70R16
May be i will try Bridgestone or Michelin to see if any improvement at factory recommended pressure.
 
Hi.
İ had Yokohama Geolandar H/T G039 265/70R16 when i posted this tread.
i switched back to stock size, 255/65/R16.
Continental Front, Michelin Rear
Not only did Rim/Tyre ratio visually make it look better, but swaying reduced IMHO, and ride comfort improved.
With old tyres, car in stationary state, i was able to sway car with hands with very minimal effort, it was swaying at the cost of tire flexion (no suspension compliance). Now there is improvement.
Hope this is not placebo effect :)
Regards.
