Tire Pressures?

I have an '09 Fit Sport. What kind of tire pressures are you running? Earlier years responses would still be useful.

Honda specifies 33 psi all around on my car. This seems ludicrous considering the VERY heavy front weight bias. I think Honda is doing this to keep things simple/stupid and for the (ridiculous) TPMS. I've found the factory-recommended tire pressures to be way off for every Honda I've owned, so yes, I'm saying I don't trust Honda for optimum performance/tire wear.

For example, some quick checks of the rear tires show tire temps much hotter in the center. I've already dropped the rears 2 psi (the centers are still high) and will probably go 4 psi lower.

What are you track junkies running out there (and under what conditions/with what tires)? TIA!
