Running anything lower than the recommended pressure in a tire is dangerous. It will cause the tire to heat up, and could cause a blow out. It also causes the tire to wear out much faster. Your tires will grip best running at the recommend pressure, not low. Extreme low pressures will cause the tire to roll, which can obviously be bad.

Get a good tire gauge, check your tires at least weekly, and run the recommended pressure in both. This will also help your tires last much longer.
