I have found that to dial out some of the inherant understeer, I run 36f/r and often bleed out the rears in an Autocross environment. Ideally, you want the hot pressures to coincide with the tire manufacturers guidelines. These may be hard to find for "street" tires, but for competition tires, its quite easy.

John.. you run PCA events or only SCCA? Not sure if SCCA is running locally this weekend, but Chesapeake PCA is at Ripken on Sunday (Fathers day).
