One suggestion was tyre pressure as I’m running at the maximum of the tubs (215psi) which is probably excessive.
Anything else obvious?
Without seeing you, the first thing that comes to mind is that you are leaning too far forward up to or over the front wheel.
I had this issue when I was riding a 57cm frame. I now ride a 61cm. I'm not suggesting that you need a new frame. Just saying that my problem started with a too-small frame.
