Most passenger car tires that I've seen are at their best around 35PSI (measured when tires are cool). The PSI will go way higher when they've been driven around for an hour. I would definitely not recommend going considerably lower than the recommended tire pressure, as that pressure was chosen for safety, reliability, longevity, and predictibility. If the cold-measured PSI for your car is supposed to be 47, then I'd keep it within 5PSI of that. Anything that much lower will cause them to heat up a lot more than they should and will start to wear a lot faster.
