Jorge,
You're going to have to figure it through trial and error, as each tire's
construction and thermal characteristics vary greatly from tire to tire.
Barney Gaylord, frequenter of the MG list and also avid autocrosser, has a
nice write-up on tuning your tires for maximum grip. That article and a few
other helpful articles on similar pressure and tire grip subjects are at:

Hope it helps you determine your proper set-up!
