If you drive at these speeds, and you want Dunlop, I would recommend Dunlop Direzza Z1 StarSpec. But the StarSpec is noisy. Michelin PS2 is also good for high speed driving - OEM tire on Bugatti Veyron.
Also the owners manual says that while 33 PSI cold is standard spec for normal driving, you should add 9 PSI for speeds over 100 mpg. Personally I have found 36PSI cold is solid for speeds above 100mph.

plus at about 110mph (180kmh), most tires can handle that
back to OP, can you explain a bit more about pressure being 2.5? what is 2.5? the system on the 3gs only tells you if it's low pressure or not? though i am confused, the tpms system triggers when pressure is lower than a certain number. from factory i believe it's right around 28psi. it doesn't detect anything else besides pressure. so i wonder how can the light be on but you and dealer both couldn't see lower pressure in one of the tires

don't get it wrong though, the ones on veyron is still totally special, not the normal ones. a set will run about 17k

Can we do something with the dealer? we ask them to check for a problem and fix it. They declare it is safe and this happen right after because of that exact problem we ask them to check. How can they declare it's safe? It's like you are stone drunk and the doctor said you can drive home. It's not right.

The reason I'll stick to 34 PSI is that's it is slighly over the recommendation of the manual for normal driving and the fact that my first set of Pirellis on my 2GS lasted for 66000 miles with perfectly even tire wear across the thread and all four tires.
