Mines 32/36 whether I'm alone or not but I reckon every tyre is different.

When I go over 32 on the front it seems very twitchy and a bit too eager to fall into corners especially with someone on the back

Mine are set to 36 front 38 rear. Put rear up to 42 with pillion. You should not really use road tyres at lower than manufacturers recommended pressures coz they can overheat. People who race will use lower pressures, but its not suitable for the road. There is a link on the brotherhood web site about this from about six months ago.
