How tire pressures affect handling balance can be very car-specific. If the tires are "rolling over", more pressure may reduce understeer. If the resulting increased tire spring rate is dominant, it will increase understeer. In either case, the change tends to be minor.

FWIW, on the street with 18" wheels on my 987, I've found lower front tire pressures to reduce understeer. YMMV!
