Default Proper tire inflation 6gt3?

Hi, I just bought a 6gt3 and just wondering what the best tire pressure to run is for street use, not track. It has Michelin pilot sports on it and pressure was 24 all around. Seemed a bit low. I did a search but it's all over the board. I was thinking I would try 30 front and 34 rear. Any suggestions?

32/39 is what my car says too. Did not know you will kill the rear centers at 39 cold. I typically run mine cold at 30/34 mostly hwy to my local track and then let out 4psi in rear so that they are square 30/30 for track use. Yoko AD08 is what I run on.

which tires:

what kind of driving: cruising, spirited:

road only use:

are tires evenly worn when finished:

39 cold will mean around 43 or 44 warm and that brutally hard.
