IIRC the common thoughts are about 18psi all round. Thats what most people run and thats what I run. 10psi seems very low!
HTH
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Tire pressure test
On a dry road, mark wth chalk or crayon 4 to 6 lines on the treads spanning across each tire, push the car enough to do a couple of revs, then check
how the lines vanish.
If the center of the lines wear first, then it is too much, if the sides, then too low.
Adjust pressure a couple of psi as required, then retest.
Repeat until you are satisfied with "wear" pattern.
this test may point to camber issues too.
Beware of what you wish.. for it may come true....
