Lapping with RS3's

Hey guys, I'm finally going lapping again (went in April and May but, got caught up in AutoX all June and July haha) I was just wondering what kinda pressures you guys run in your RS3s. I got kinda screwed last time and ran 30psi (Pump broke and had a shitty pressure gauge). However, it was really cold out (10* C) and I strangely did my personal best on the track. Now with the days getting into (25-30*C) Im unsure of what pressures I should be considering.

Suggestions?

I ran them on a Porsche 996 and loved them on the track. 38 hot was about perfect for that car. And even though they have a reputation for loving the heat, I found them starting to get greasy at 40 or above. YMMV.
