this is a very touchy question, it all depends on what you want to do with your car...if you are all about handling...put more pressure in...I have the same size and I run 35 cold all the way around...make sure when you measure your pressures you are doing it off absolutely "cold" readings...the extra pressure makes the sidewalls stiffer for less "rollover" additionally, tire pressures affect contact patches, if you want straight line traction (for launching and such if you drag) you put in a lot less in front and more in the rear...32 all the way around is a good number, but I would experiment with a little more and see how you like it...certainly for street driving don't go any less...
