Your tire pressures will depend somewhat on the surface (track/parking lot) conditions, ambient temp, driving style, changing understeer/oversteer, etc. You probably will need to experiment a bit to find the "right" pressure.

get a good racing tire pressure gauge, best one of the oil filled ones that adapt for ambient temp. You can find them on amazon and ebay for around $40.

I find that my tires (Hancook Ventus V12 Evo2) when driven hard at AX or the track get slippery when very hot and I run much lower pressure than I do for normal spirited driving.

Different tires will act differently. Tire pressure for performance driving is a mix or art and science
