Does that sound okay to start? I'll definately check them after/during the first run to see how they do. Thanks for the chalk tip Dean...I always wondered what those triangles are for.  |
That might be a little high. I was assuming a max pressure in the 40-45 range... just because the tires will handle 50+ doesn't mean that's where the traction is.
Starting at 36f/34r cold is probably more realistic. If you get out there and unintentionally over-drive the car, you'll put a lot of heat into the front tires very quickly. You can always adjust the pressures after the 1st session.
