Tyre pressures

So my 295/30/20 came off as down to the legal requirement but wear was perfect, even across each tire, I was running 32psi , should I run the new size of 305/30/20 on the same pressure

specification is 37, but I don't think that's what you are asking.

The difference in volumetric displacement between the two tire sizes is not sufficient to warrant a change to your preferred tire pressure.

A timely opportunity for me to piggyback onto this topic:

What pressure should I use for 245/45/19?
These are my winter tires.

Interestingly, Jaguar recommends 245/40 for 19" (245/45 for 18"s), but regardless it's 36 psi for all winter tyres sizes.

Maybe because it's closer to OEM diameter? I think it's approx -1% relative to stock 20-inch setup. 245/45/19 is approx +2% iirc. Many have reported that the fender clearance is fine, however.
