I was thinking of setting it at 34psi, but I wonder if that might be a bit low for tires with 35 & 40 aspect ratios.
The Conti DW's that are on the car now are considered a "max performance summer" tire. The car has been parked for a couple of weeks, and I took it out today after re-installing the 3rd brakelight... man, it DOES take some miles before the parking flat spots come out!!

Thanks again for all the comments and info!!
