Corolla FWD Tire Pressures

I had a 1963 VW Beetle which I kept for 23 years. Tire pressures for
the VW were different front to back because of the weight of the
engine plus transaxel on the rear tires. If I remember correctly -
which I probably don't - they were something like 25 or 30 psi in the
rear and 15 psi in the front.

Since the front wheel drive Corollas (I have a 2005) have the reverse
situation, would it make sense to reduce the rear tire pressures a few
psi less than the front, especially if the car is normally used with
just the driver? I'd also be interested in your thoughts on handling
effects if this were done.
