Default Stock S02 Tire Pressure For Autocross?

I need to know what your experiences were for autocross on stock S02s.

Of course, I know the tire itself is a great tire for Autocross, but I don't have the time to experiment with different pressures. What have you guys found to be the best pressure for an event?

My thoughts, Cold pressure 32PSI front and 31PSI rear... any other opinions?

Cold pressure please.

Well, I wasn't on stock tires (actually used Yoko A032R's), but I found 35/30 to work out pretty well-- helped control the understeer in hard turning quite a bit....

Anyway..thats what worked for me, but that wasn't stock S02/3's... I auto-x'd once on S02s..and it tore the snot outta the tires-- I wouldn't recommend it to be honest, it really does a number on them-- but I loved the Yoko's..

I started at 36F/36R (cold) today, and couldn't keep the rear planted. I lowered it about 3 PSI in the rear (hot) and it felt a little better. I had a little bit of push, but I was OK with that. So, I'd say 35-36 in the front and 32-33 in the rear.
BTW... I'm on the stock suspension and I have no idea what my alignment is currently set to, and that can play a big role, too.

Thanks alll...

Any other opinions? Autox is tomorrow and I'm putting new Fuzions on afterwards, so I don't really care about treadwear.
