Default Pilot Sport 2 Tire Pressure

I copied this over from a thread I started in Wheels/Tires, but no comments.

I just got PS2s from Tire Rack for my 02 coupe with Z51 package, MN6, Bilstein (stiffer) shocks, upgraded brakes, brake cooling ducts, intake, headers, exhaust, tune, with factory GM C5 Z06 wheels. My wife and I have made hundreds of AutoX runs over the past 5 yrs, and we do several track days each year. PS2s are new to us. (We had several sets of Toyo Proxes T1-R previously). Our skills have improved, but now we're starting over again with premium max performance tires.

Looking for recommendations on pressure settings for PS2s in AutoX, and at the track (road courses, with main straight speed somtimes up to 140+).

Thanks!

36/34 Fr/Rr hot pressures seem to work well for me on road course. I'm on my 2nd set on C6 w/Z51.

Thanks Steve J06 . That's about what I thought. It will be "fun" experimenting. Our old Toyos were a little soft in the sidewall (I think) and eventually we found that at least 38 front and 35 rear was necessary to keep the rollover in check. And on hot track days we were constantly bleeding off a pound or so. I am expecting that the PS2s will not need that much pressure.

Anyone else?

In my Viper I run 29 psi all around.
