i think you draw a line across your tyre and go for a drive, when the chalk wears evenly you have the correct pressure.

from what i have read on here most put 28-30 in the front and 32-36 in the rear but not seen anyone with your size before

I find the car feels & steers better with the fronts at 31/32psi.
