Anytime i ask a question about tire pressure i allways get. "Look on the side of the tire and go with that." Even though the pressure on the tire is the max pressure not the correct riding pressure. Maybe you'll get a better answer than me i hope so.

You are worried about tires heating up/boosting pressure I assume?

Just not sure what will give me the best traction for doing the intense driving that will occur on the track. I guess I should also be concerned about the heat increasing the pressure too?

Gonna be different for everyone depending on suspension setup and driving style and different tires. I have different tires but I run 36.5-37 front and 35 rear. I have 245/40/19 Advan Neovas up front and Nitto NT05's out back.

Cool, thanks guys. I'll probably drop it down to 35. I normally run at around 36-38.
