Default Tire pressure for autox (C6 Z51 GY F1)?

First autox in the Vette, and first time on street tires in a while! What's a good starting point? What's the lowest without causing too much damage?

Thanks!

I have done a couple of track days at Grandsport Speedway and MSR Houston. I ran 36 front and rear with no problems.

Make sure you recheck between sessions.

I'll second that, and the second fastest lap time in August at the Aspen Road track.

Depends. I have started some events on supercars at 30lbs all around and get high temp warnings (40 lbs) after a few laps.

On street tires I start about 30 and adjust and R compounds around 28.
