My own experience is the same as yours. 60 psi rear and 55 in front.
Faster downhill on coarse roads and surprisingly good to climb on.

I got back yesterday from Sierra to the Sea, a 586 mile supported bike
tour from Lake Tahoe to San Francisco.
I used the Grand Bois Cypres tires. I now want to report that they were
splendid. We encountered some roads with terrible pavement, as I knew we
would since this was my second year on the trip. The tires are marked for
75-95 psi, so I initially tried 80 psi. After a day, I let out some air;
around 60 psi ended up working well for me.
Others would slow down on the bumpy downhills, but I just zoomed. My buddy
with narrow tires was constantly crowing about how great his tires were.
When I followed him on some bad stretches of pavement on the flats, I grew
tired of his weaving around trying to find a good line, whereas I just rode
straight with no trouble.
No flats, no problems.
I still think that there ought to be a standard way to measure bike tire
width, so we can compare tires from different vendors. But these tires
(which still measure 30mm wide on my bike) performed admirably.

It isn't a contest. Enjoy the ride.
