	Warm tire pressure in the 32-36 range all around is reasonable. If
anything, I would keep about 2psi more in the front tires to decrease the
understeer.

Watch out for those P4000's. In my experience they are dreadful in the rain
once they have less then 50% tread left. I had to dismount those from my
wife's car as they were getting outright dangerous. Some of that should be
attributed to the automatic transmission that whimsically changes gears in a
middle of a decreasing radius turn (not a factor in your case).
