wow...the RE71s have the stiffest sidewalls in the 200 TW game. Even with the new stuff that's out now...A052s, RT660, CR1
So many variables to be considered when talking about pressures. The gain may also be from your improvement and better understanding of the course layout so it is very possible that there was still time to be saved out there. Pyrometer might be a good investment to tell you if you are in fact maximizing your contact patch and give you some indication on pressures.
When I was running an RE71 in 245 40 18, i was in the 34-36 psi area but I had a bunch of suspension goodies so that affects things.
