Not very scientific, but here goes.
I've noticed huge difference between different tyres, and smaller differences due to the condition of the brake pads, but I have not found any problem or noted change with the braking power of the tyres due to pressure.
Between 36 and 51 psi, they stop the car just as well.
Or equally bad, as they are dedicated LRR tyres.
Your Yaris is lightweight, so if the shocks are getting worn out, that'll only increase the bounciness as the shocks can't cope.
BTW: I once had a Yaris 1.4D with 185/?/14" wheels and Michelin Pilot Exalto 2 tyres.
That thing stopped as if it ran into a brick wall.
It also used more diesel than my Volvo does now
