Yep that's why I talked about using a pyrometer to read the tires correctly. I would really be surprised if there were any rollover on the Goodyear 3's even at stock pressure. It used to be necessary to overinflate due to rollover because tire construction was behind the curve. Modern tires especially those made for autocross/track like the Goodyear 3's, Hankook RS3/RS4, Bridgestone RE-71r all have stiff sidewalls and probably don't need any extra help in that department. Setting different pressures on the front and back can help tune out any tendency to understeer/oversteer though.
