Why dont you play with some presure set al at 40 drive it drop by 2 psi drive and repeat. Btw get a new / accurate air gauge.

Definitely 32 all round (cold)
For a track day then 29 all round, again cold.

This is what I have done for years. This gives me a very neutral handling car, I can even go to 30 on the front (cold) for a bit of safe understeer if I so choose. If you run 32/34 fr/rr then you will be promoting oversteer as long as you are aware
