Default tire pressures?

ok well right now i have bfgoodrich gforce kdw 275/40zr17 on my ws6. i have been playin aroudn with the tire pressures to get best traction both front and rear. yes, i know it depends on the outside temp but lets say its its 40, 70 and 90 deg. what pressures would you guys go with? right now its about 65 deg and im running 40 in the front and 32 in the rear when tires are cold but it still looks like the rear could use some more of the rubber up.
