Default you want it just right. Too low, and your tires will float. too high, and you are riding on rocks..
you want the full contact patch sitting on the ice, and NO more.

Default Go higher in the front...
This car is dramatically heavier in the front so higher pressure supports the extra weight. I generally went with 39F and 37R on 17" tires.
