I used Toyos but that looks too low to me for hot temps.
I ran 30 fr 36 rear HOT on my Mk2 with KWv3 and cup diff. Worked a treat.

32F/34R if on 18. Hot pressures. If you haven't done a lot of running before and noted pressure changes it's going to be a bit of a moving target hitting those at first.
I'd normally say start 5-6 PSI lower for cold pressures but that may leave you still low once hot.
Its likely that you will need a few pit stops to check anyways at first so you can always start closer to the target temps and bleed down. This can be advantageous anyways as it will save you running around on under inflated tyres while letting you feel what a few PSI over inflated feels like when you come in and bleed down.

I run 2.1 bar all round. If it's a clockwise circuit I start at 1.8 bar outside. 1.85 bar inside. If you are experienced, your tyres will be up to temp after 2 or 3 laps. If you are not experienced see Fiorano's post above for good advice.

I normally find myself bleeding down pressure at least 2-3 times first thing in the morning as everything comes up to temp (including my driving!). I'm generally aiming for 32f 33-34r running Trofeo R's (very similar to Cups).
