I would guess this makes the car more neutral?
A graph of psi against grip will be a kind of semi circle with peak grip at say x psi.
A graph of psi against turn in response would be a similar graph shape but with the peak at say X+5 psi.
So you have to choose what you want - for a DD you would probably feel the benefit of a sharper turn in more than you would miss a marginally lower level of ultimate tyre grip.
Best is to try adjusting the pressures and see what you think.
I run recommended plus about 5 psi front and rear and it makes the car feel more "immediate" especially when making fast steering inputs.
