Michelin Pilot Sport: Tyre pressure

I recently switched from Continental Sport Contact to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 18" 225/265.
What would be the recommended tyre pressure for them, does anybody know? Do I always go with 2 bar front / 2.5 bar rear?
Higher speed on the autobahn felt a little more nervous than usual, although it was windy outside.

I always go by the car specs and never the tire specs regardless of brand/model.

So no matter the size, the "standard tyre pressure" stays the same.
Okay thanks, JFP.
