Just run the car with a couple of more pounds pressure in the front or follow the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure and you'll be fine. That's pretty much all you can do even if you do know the F/R ratios.

I suppose you could take impressions of the tire contact patch and figure out the ratios from that. You'll probably going to end up adding a couple of more pounds pressure in the front anyway so why bother?
