I'm also want to compare optimum pressure vs. rear camber. All I know is 40 psi in 50 series rears at 2.5 deg camber gives real loose handling.

The label on the tire says max 45 psi. So is 25 psi too low?

if you're going higher speeds, they recommend inflating them more. I just got my '90 TurboII so I'm not sure. Plus one tire has a slow leak

I usually run about 32-35 psi cold since its so hot here, and pressure builds up with heat.
