Kumho! Your brave.....
I have the same size and I have seen alsorts of reccomendations, I use 31/29 or 32/30. Depends on how hot it is and how accurate the gauge is i guess.. Trial and error so long as your not being silly.
Will be interested to see what other people use.

Lots of people like the Toyos.
Had them on my previous Impreza and they were great.
Must say that the previous car (95 uk classic) handled much better than current one (01 wrx wagon) - hoping that this is just due to crappy Kumho tyres...

I've got Toyo T1R's... highly recommend them. Nice progressive loss of grip and sharper handling with the stiff side walls. I run 35 psi fronts and 32 rear. Running 35 at the front for me seemed to sharpen it up that little bit more and hopefully reduce excessive outside edge tyre wear.

35 front and 32 rear. Ive seen 37/32 recommended for standard (ie: not Whiteline) suspension but that makes the front 'crash' quite a lot.
