Ok that seems a bit high really. I thought you might have had too little pressure when warm. 25-27 psi would give better feel and grip.
Although I'm coming from a motorbike mentality where profile is very important, I think the same is true for cars with flat rather than round tyre profiles. The reason you drop your cold pressures is not to warm the tyres. It is to make sure the pressure is right when the tyres are warm and have increased in pressure. Otherwise it's tail wagging the dog if that makes sense.
Having said that I'm not sure the tyre model is like real life so maybe there's a way to cheat the system and get perfect grip as it's just a game after all. It's funny that RaceRoom doesn't even allow you to change tyre pressure (or tell you the tyre temps I don't think) but the tyre model feels so much more like tyres when driving. Maybe you can't have both control of setup and realistic tyre feel...
