If you have 18" wheels fitted, try 36 front, 32 rear. Newer Scoobs are heavier and most of the extra weight is over the front tyres. Upping the pressure on the front tyres can help a little to compensate for the extra weight. Not sure about pressures for 17" tyres, but you could apply the same logic and up them by 2 or 3 PSI.

TSL reccommended 33/30 f/r when I was using 17's and 34/31 when I changed to 18's, havn't experimented beyond this as car feels great. Do get a really good gauge so you are sure of the pressures.
