I found that w/my alignment the tires seemed to work best at 36 psi in the front and 34 psi in the rear, hot.
in this case, to reach this psi while the tires are hot. should i start with 30psi rear and 32psi front cold? i cant imagine starting lower than that. i have a staggered setup just like yours. and im driving in a GP full circuit in some of the days and the inner circuit of the GP circuit on others.

what about the NT05s? i just bought a set of 255/40/17 non staggered and wondering how they perform on track
Haven't tried NT05's, or most other tires yet. Is this your first shot at a non-staggered setup? I'm sure the car will stick nicely as long as you're keeping the car balanced through suspension / alignment. I'm actually looking at going non-staggered too since there's an "STR" auto-x class starting up next year. What wheels are you fitting the tires on?

I think it depends on the ambient temperature and how much your tires warm up. It wouldn't be a bad idea to start w/those pressures. I'd just advise making note of the changes in pressure, tire temps (if you can), ambient temp, etc...
