I have no idea why less experienced people/newbies choose to debate the experience and information of long time track participants. I mean if you are not willing to learn from the experienced people, then maybe don't ask the question.
Driving on track is in no way related to driving on the road.

Dead right, I don't know as I have no experience with those tyres, but I'm making an educated guess based on my experience with other road tyres on track.
If you're really keen to find out for yourself, spend $20 on a cheapo IR thermometer and run it across the tyre face after each run. If the temperature is consistent, as I found it to be on Bridgestone RE001/2's at 38~40psi, your alignment and pressures are pretty close to the ideal for your current driving style. Or you know, run with the advice given by the experienced people you just paid for training.
