For the most part trial an error. A lot of it comes down to driver preference and "feel" of the system. You want to be sure that your robot has enough "bite" in to high speed turns while at the same time making sure it doesn't overturn. A bit of time on a field with the gain hooked up to something you can change fast (some buttons, the throttle wheel on a joystick, etc) will work wonders.
For the most part, we tune our turning around 100% throttle. Any time spent out of 100% throttle while traversing the field is time wasted. Any time that requires less than 100% throttle is usually a straight line approach.

Nice! We will definitely need to try that out.
