Mine were best at around 30-31 hot, so starting at around 25 and working them hard on the warm-up seemed to work well.
Don't let them overheat though. They don't like it at all.

Yep, agree with Phil.

Start at 25psi cold and then check the pressures IMMEDIATELY you return to the pits. Adjust them to 31psi hot all round. You will find at Wakefield that the front left gets a lot hotter than the other three, so start there first.

Thanks guys. Lakside and QR are clockwise tracks, so the front left gets hot more.
