NT01 pressure recommendations

What's the consensus for DE hot tire pressures on NT01's? Assume 80 degrees, sunny, warm dry track, on a NB 996 (235's & 275's).
Thanks.

For Cayman, I run 34 hot F&R at most tracks. Also monitor sidewall indicators arrows.

Thanks.

I start at 26 cold and bleed down to 33 hot at all corners. I have thousands and thousands of laps on NT01's and this has yielded the most consistent, predictable tire characteristics.

careful they are slippery out of the box until you have a session or two in them.

How much are you all starting at 25 bleeding off to end up around 33? On my 996tt if I start at 25 I end up more like 36/38 f/r. The tires (235/315) feel like they are rolling over at lower pressures.

I'm a little surprised at some of the suggestions to end up at the same hot pressures front and rear. With several other brands I've used on the 996 I've found 2-3 lbs more at the rear (hot) is optimal.
