I start mine at 24/26 cold and they seem to get around 30 hot. When I get back in after my first session i immediately take temps and bleed out air if needed to be at 30 hot.
This describes a 20 psi cold pressure, 30 psi hot target, a 20 degrees being the preferable gradient across the tire, a 175-220 degree optimal temp range, and a front to rear difference of no more than 25 degrees.
After one of my last sessions I recorded these values:
But I don't think I'm pushing them hard enough. BTW the columns with no headings are the differences between the "perfect" centre temp for an even gradient, and measured. Since these are all well under +/- 5 degrees, I think the 30 psi hot target is right (this is what I set the tires to immediately after each session all day long.)

Yes, may need hot pressure a bit higher for high bank high speed tracks (Daytona).

Continental GT-O and GT-R slicks - what temps
