First autox on stock tires.
This will be my first autox, and I was seeing what tire pressure you guys think I should start with on the front and the rears? Im rolling on the stock Nismo rims and tires.

I've been running 36 psi up front and 32 psi out back with stock Nismo wheels and rubber. If you really wanna dial it in more you could always use the shoe polish method.

For stock camber and suspension I would aim for hot pressures of 37 front, 34-35 rear and make adjustments from there based on tire rollover and front to rear balance on the coarse.

I wanted to chime in on this thread. This weekend will also be my first AutoX experience in this car. Running stock tires and Swift springs, spacers, no camber arms. Gonna be a little cooler here this weekend, about 74F ambient temp. Would you recommend the same tire pressures?

If this is your first autox, I recommend you put tire pressures completely out of your mind. Adjusting tire pressure is going to have an insignificant impact on your times as your driving consistency will be the limiting factor by far. Not a knock on you by any means, but it's the reality of starting autox. Focus on learning the course, getting comfortable in the car, and getting rid of the butterflies and jitters. Next season or the one after, start thinking about tire pressures and the little tweaks that will improve times when you're already a consistent driver. I have a friend who never checked a tire pressure in his life and he wins events routinely because he just outdrives everyone.
