What Tire PRessure do you run in your V710's for AutoX
Just Wondering because I ended up at about 33PSI fronts and 27psi rear

I am usually lower than that, 28ish front 25 rear. That was with 275/40/17 fronts and 315/35/18's. Next event I hope to be on 305/30/18 fronts and 315/35/18 rears. Probably start +1lb on the fronts and see how it goes.

I ran 28 front 26 rear. I wouldn't run more than 3 lbs differential between front and rear.

Again, I'm no autocross expert but 28/25 seems low to me. This past weekend (on a road course) in 100+ degree temps I'd start off with 29 rear 30-31 front and I'd end up at 37-38 lbs hot. In the few autocross events I run I typcially start with similar tire pressures. I've chalked the tires before and haven't had any excessive rollover.

Thanks. Usually on a summer day here in Nor Cal, say 95*, I would start at 28 cold front, and usually after a 50-60 second course see them rise to 32-33lbs. When we used to run at Atwater in 105+ temps, you could get 7-9lbs in 60 seconds.
For most Autox people, the 28ish start is pretty common for the V710's, and they are run lower than the Hoosier A6 by at least a few pounds. TT track people will run them even lower than where we are at, low 20's to start There are a few threads about tire pressures for track use here, and real world pressures tend to be lower than what the manufacturer "recommends". But warranties are not established at a point of max performance for any product, but at a level that minimizes risk and failure.
