I am not criticizing your practices at all.
I just want to know if you know all about what you are practicing and wonder about the reasons that you have.
You may be approaching this lean limit from the wrong direction; it may look cool, but lean angle is an undesirable result or cornering fast on two wheels; hence, the less, the better.
Cornering fast without crashing is a desirable result of applying the proper techniques and judgement and smoothness.
The faster you corner, the more difficult judging line and entry speed is and the smoother on the throttle, brake, suspension and bar you need to be:

Yes, those pressures are too high for 20 mph and parking lots (rubber remains too cool).
Try reducing those to 60~70% for your next practice (don't forget re-inflating after practice).
In that way, the rear rubber will not be your limit.
