Z06 Non-OEM Replacement Tires - Tire Pressures?

Just replaced my 11-year old OEM Goodyear runflats (no comments please) with same size Michelin Pilot Super Sport PS2 ZP runflats. The installer inflated the Michelins to 32psi cold, opposed to the OEM requirement for 30psi cold. My question is, should I still use the OEM requirement to achieve best tire wear, handling and ride comfort or do the Michelins perform better with the higher pressure? Please send me a PM with your advice. Thanks for looking.

Thanks. Thought it would be faster by posting a fresh request rather than sifting through lots of old unrelated posts.
