AUto X Tire pressure question???

I am running a GSL_SE with 14inch konig wheels and Falken RT615 tires. Where should I start on tire pressures? This will be the first time running these tires, and I am going to play around a little during the event trying different pressures, just not sure where is best to start.

Use a bit of chalk or white shoe polish on the sidewalls. If the tire is rolling over onto the sidewall during your runs, add more air.

With 215/50/13 Sumitomos, I run in the upper 40s to 50 psi.

Thanks, I ran a 32 front and 30 rear. Finished 1st in ES class. I could have used a little more in the front.
