Default Track Monkeys: Whats the ideal tire pressures for the track?

Please list your tire pressures. Preferably with stock S02 and suspension setup. What works the best for you and what is the best pressure to prevent excessive wear.

Thanks

if you're looking to prevent excessive wear then you want to stay home and watch martha stewart. If you want to drive fast, you'll spend that susie-homemaker time furiously trying to sew up the hole you're burning in your wallet from running through a set of tires in half as many miles as you originally anticipated.

try starting out at 34F-32R on stock tires.

34F-33R cold and then compensate for tire usage. Bring some chaulk to the track draw a line from the side wall and across the thread. When ever you pit , you'll see how much of the tire you are using. In ideal circumstances, the chaulk will be completely rubbed off only on the tread portion of the tire. Results may vary. If you are wearing the tires evenly, then you'll eek out a few extra miles worth of life and maintain an efficient contact patch out of your tire.
