Conti Road Attack on the Bonneville

I just installed a set of Continental Road Attacks on the Bonneville. At 36psi front and 38psi rear, the bike would not turn. VERY high effort was required at the bar to turn. I began dropping the pressures and the bike started to turn again. I am at 28psi front and rear right now, but I am worried that this may accelerate wear. What should I go by, Triumph's recommended pressures or handling feel? Other than the bike's handling characteristics, how do you tell what pressures are correct? Keep in mind that the tires are wider than stock and may require less pressure than the stockers, but how much less?
