Default Tire pressure for Hankook RS2s?

My tires are being delivered today and I'm taking them to be mounted. I've heard these tires can act kind of funny if you don't keep an eye on the tire pressure. For guys that have owned them, what did you find to be the best tire pressure for the front and back?

Also, anyone have some numbers I can give to the shop that is going to do my alignment that will give me the most tread life?

Thanks!

I would like to know as well!
I just had them installed today and at 32 psi all around, the car is feeling a little bouncy!
Any sign of unusual wear with 35 psi all around?

RS2s have a very soft sidewall compaired to the OEM S02's, thats why i run the 35psi all around. Bring them up higher and steering responce improves but still not as good as S02's

I would run them closer to 40. I run my S0-2's at 38 F/R and I get great response and treadwear. I also have noticed no loss in lateral grip. I am dreading replacing them with something else, such a great all-around tire.
