You'll want a lot less pressure for a road course because the tires heat up a lot more than during a 2 minute autocross. I ran 32/30 (F/R) and had an 8 psi rise on the right F (to 40, max is 44). I went down a couple psi and got understeer, so going up to 35/35 wouldn't be a bad place to start but check the hot pressure after 10 minutes of lapping and adjust accordingly. As mentioned, a pyrometer is best.
