I just picked up a set of Yokohama Advan 032r's (hard compound) in f205/r245-16 mounted on stock wheels. I have a MY02 running on stock springs/sway bars and my car is not lowered. Other than to and from the track I will not use these tires on the street. Any experience you have about some baseline tire pressures or alignment settings would be appreciated . Note on alignment-This is my daily driver so I can't go for a full aggressive track alignment but if these tires like/dislike anything special I can make some compromises for that.
Hope some of you track junkies can help because my similar post in "Tires and Wheels" forum got ZERO response. Thanks, MarchHare.

I don't know if any of the die-hard track junkies have tried the A032Rs yet. One note on the alignment: you'll spend MUCH more money on track tires, so your best bet is to get an alignment that optimizes their wear rates and just accept the somewhat accelerated street wear.

What's your car weigh? In the 911 world, we run A032R's pretty low -- under 30 pounds, hot, on a 2700 pound car.

One more thing: no, your wheel bearings aren't going bad. The Yokos are just LOUD.

A number of us tried the A032's several years ago.. not the most popular tire. I tried to keep them under 36 hot but was never pleased and gave them away after one event.

At 36, they will be greasy as all get-out.
