Optimal tire pressure

What do you guys think is the correct tire pressure for this vehicle? It seems like the front tires should be a couple of pounds more since they are carrying more of the weight. The difference in pressure would provide a equal contact patch to the ground. I usually cold fill the front to 32 psi and rear to 30 psi. After they heat up with driving the fronts read 35 psi and the rears around 33 psi. Maybe my theories are wrong. What do you think?

The tire pressures are set by the manufacturer of the vehicle and the tire maker for optimal ride, performance, handling, and gas mileage under all weather and road conditions. It's a balancing act to say the least. Stick with the stock tire pressures 32/32 and all will be well 99.99% of the time.
