tire pressure hot/cold

whats up all, in my manual it says to check tire pressure when tires are cold,but how much will the pressure fluctuate when the tires are warmed up.(by the time i get to a gas station to adjust the pressure)how much (over) should i take into account when i check them hot? .....i have a 98 impreza rs with minor mods, should i run the suggested amount , 32 f 29 r ,or higher/lower the pressure? i pretty much only drive semi hard in the backroads, rest of the time i mellow out. thanks in advance !

i noticed probably about 1-2 psi difference. my cold pressures are 32/29 front/rear, and I inflate to 34/31 when they're warm.

I tried inflating to 32/29 warm, and when i did check the pressures after cooling down, they read about 30/27-28...
