250 would give you better FC but you sacrifice grip on your tires for that. FC improvement wouldn't be that significant but the grip on your tires could be, especially when for example you're jamming your brakes hard. Best to use recommended pressure if you're on stock tire size

You should check the manual and go for the standard - ie what the manual recommends.

If you change the profile of the tyre (which a lot of people did) then the configuration of the car - settings etc from the manufacturer will be compromise... and your FC will increased
