Thanks
I shoot for 35psi HOT. Your starting cold pressures will vary based on ambient and track temps, so you will need to experiment on starting pressures. Ballpark for a typical summer day I start at around 25-26 psi cold. On a very cool day, I might start around 29psi cold.

Then as your tires and pressures come up, you can fine tune the grip levels front/rear by altering tire pressures in order to achieve the desired handling balance.
