Michelin PS2 PSI for Autox/Track?

Guys,

I will be taking the PS2s to the autox for the first time...I usually run Toyo Proxies T1Rs and run around 39.5PSI cold all around.

I was wondering if you guys had success with the PS2s and at which PSI?

Thanks,
Dave

I'm guessing you're new at autocross if you're talking about cold pressure.

Aim for 40ish hot. Too squirmy? Drop the pressure in the rear to no lower than 35.

I guess I'm new...about 5 events.

I usually get my car ready before heading out to the track so I test it cold...It does up up 5-7 when tires warm up.

Thanks for the tip, you running PS2?

street yes... track/ax no. good tires. Monitor the pressure throughout the day. I'm accustomed to picking up 8-10 psi after my first session. Remember, the only thing that counts is hot pressure. In the morning think about:

Hot pressure = cold pressure + expected psi gain

Nothing wrong with psi being a little too high. Better than too low.
