trackday tyre pressures

[easty-5]

What pressures do you run on track using road tyres?

I have my first outing in the 182 on Saturday and wondering what pressures I ought to run at. Got TR1s up front and bridgestones on the rear. Running 32/30 for normal road use. Was thinking of probably around 24/22 cold on track.

Anybody care to share what pressures they use, or advise?

Check them when hot, keep checking them all day. Dont go over 30psi

As per my thread. I was advised to set them at about 25 cold. Then monitor them throughout the day, not letting them get above 30 when hot.

If setting them at a low cold pressure, just don't push until you get them warmed up properly.

I'm in the minority here (so this isn't necessarilly good advice really) but I prefer to go a little more than 30 psi hot, around 34 for me. I've often found it runs on the outside of the front sidewalls (using road tyres) if you go in search of more grip via the low pressure route. However, that may not be something I need to be worrying about?
