Cool What should the tire pressure F/R be for optimum Auto-X action?

Going autocrossing 'morrow and was curious as to the best tire pressure F/R, respectively.

Car in sig w/BF goodrich Touring T/A tires P205/60/VR15. No suspension mods at all.

somewhere between 35-40 psi up front and 25-30 in the rear. also, keep in mind when adjusting the higher the tire pressure the more traction (so says the Mazda RX-7 Performance Handbook). I'm hitting the auto-x tomorrow as well, it's the first time for me and my car is relatively stock, should be good times .

You want higher than normal pressure.

As for what specific numbers your car needs....Well I dunno. Fill it up in the morning and get a gauge. Then let it out little by little until you find the sweet spot.
