rolling under, (205/60/13 btw), I needed to put about 44 psi in them. The rears needed some help to prevent side wall roll, but not as much, so their pressure was set at 36 psi. By playing withthe tire pressure, e.g. less in the rear, I could induce a bit of oversteer (helped on some courses).
On the UrS, I just run 32 psi all round. (Normal driving)

For the tires to keep an optimal footprint on the road the fronts would need more pressure to support the additional weight. Adding pressure to the fronts car will reduce understeer (to a point).<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftiretech%2Ftechpage.jsp %3Ftechid%3D58">http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=58</a></li></ul>
