Tire Pressure Kumho vs Hoosier

Ok, here's the deal. I'm currently on 710's -275/17 (8.5 wheel) at 28psi and 305/18 (9.5 wheel) at 24 psi which seems to work well. I'm switching to Hoosier (1st time) for Sundays - same wheel width but larger cross section (295 and 315). Anyone care to hazard a guess as to tire pressures to start out with?

We've were running 36/33, but some folks thought that was a bit too high. We dropped to 35/32 at the last event ... but I wasn't driving

When we switched from 710s to Hoosier (285/30/18 all around) we went fro 29 front 25 back on the 710s to only a pound difference lower. The Hoosiers were substantially wider in the same size as the 710s.
