SD Boxster is wise. Get your hot pressures in the 36-40psi zone and don't sweat it too much until you are knocking at a course record in your class. I do like even pressures all around but others have different ideas. Do chalk your sidewalls and look for shoulder rollover. A tire that is under-inflated for your driving style will overheat and wear out quickly.
