If you're really pushing it, a good indication is the tire arrow:



Those are my RS3s after my first auto-x. The arrow indicates where the roll-over mark should be. All tires will roll over the sidewall, adjusting pressures to make sure they don't roll over too much/little is key.

I dropped 1 PSI in the rears and now I'm golden. I run 35 hot rear, 39 hot front on my RS3s for autocrossing.
Ok - I'll look for this tonight when I get home. I know it takes some tweaking to get them right. I also need to take a 'cold' reading, will do that soon too. thanks...

Dan, yep it was a great move to upgrade the tires before thinking of doing anything else!
