Different pumps often show very different pressures. So it's not that easy to compare the pressures.
I have not seen a downhill tire with 1.95" yet - except special tires for heavy rain/mud conditions (or for meadow dual slalom or snow races). So it seems you do not have a downhill tire. Switch to real downhill tires with 2 ply casing. Then you can go down to 1 bar without having too much flats (depending on your weight, the rims, ...).
I usually ride with a higher pressure at the rear wheel. E.g. 1.5 front, 2.x rear.
