David,
I understand the terms understeer and oversteer. Could you define toss and plant for me?

Without measuring tire temp inside, middle, and outside you wont know for sure, but...
at the moment I am running 36psi rear to give me a little more toss, and 32psi front to give me a little more plant.
But that's my car, your mileage may vary.

I ran 33 F, 35 R on my 308. Too much tire squeal at the track. Upped pressures to 37F, 40R while upgrading to 16 inch rims and stickier (UTQG = 160) tires. They'll still howl a bit but it takes a lot more effort.

I have been tinkering around with tire pressures on my T Cab lately and was wondering if anyone had recommendations they could share with me? 99% of my driving is tossing around on clear back roads and I am running stock sizes w/Michelin Pilot Sports.
