Tire pressure Autocross in the Rain ?

OK heading to an autocross in Marina Ca tomorrow. It is supposed to be wet with temps in the 50's, high of 56. I have '18 f80 zcp all stock with Michelin Super Sports. What do you guys think would be optimum tire pressure? Also any other advice appreciated. Thanks.

Garage List
36-38 psi all around should be good.

Perfect opportunity to turn DSC all the way off and have some fun sliding around.

Higher pressure to round out the tires and assist in water dissipation. 38ish should work.

Best tire pressure for MPSS
30-31 psi dry
37-39 psi rain

all hot!

Thanks everyone, thankfully it did not rain until later groups. There were a lot of DNF's (did not finish) as was very hard to pick up course layout. Even the guy who did the course had one DNF. :-)
