Tires pressure for track event
 
What tyre pressure do you recommend for track event (road course) on tires:
- front : 225/50/16
- rear: 225/50/16

Thanks!

What kind of tires? Street tires? R-compounds? Racing slicks? It makes a difference.

Normal DOT street tires Dunlop SP9000.

Probably start off with 33psi (F) and 30psi (R). With R-compounds or a stiffer sidewall tire, I'd go a little lower.

Isn't 32psi stock ? Why would I want to go lower ?

Your tires will heat up as you continue to lap the course. As they heat, the air pressures will rise. You want to start out lower so that they are at the right pressure as the tires get to operating temp.
