I run my semislicks at around 26 hot. Does that help? :lol:

What type of tyre? Different tyres have different characteristics at different pressures.

Yea it all depends on what tyre it is. I run my Azenis at 32 in the dry. 28 psi in the wet.
Being a pit slave, I've been istructed to put 19psi into some DO1's when cold. But tyhese are serious race cars.

I'm only going to be running road tyres...Toyo Proxes 4s. First outing on the track and maybe a few more visits I can upgrade to a set of Azenis :mrgreen:
