Conti's will never get hot enough to be "good" at autox...
On road coarse, I start them at 24-25 cold front, 23 cold rear, and shoot for 30 hot and thats where I "like" them. That was with my 10 ZR1 on the road coarse...
What to watch for- There is no tire scream and gentle break away that you have with "normal" tires- Its grip for days, until there isn't, there isnt much in between, although they don't loop you like a street tire, my contis would only let me step out about 90* or less before I'd catch it, unless I really overcooked the turn...

I got this from their website when I first got my R80s - not sure how different the Contis are:
LAKEVILLE, IN (March 8, 2011) — In an effort to offer our valued customers more tire size
options, Hoosier Tire will be introducing two new R80 / R100 radial slick sizes specifically for
Ferrari F430 Challenge customers.
Extensive testing has proven these radial slicks to perform with the best in class. Every aspect of vehicle dynamics, grip, turn in, steering feedback and quicker lap times, will be enhanced by using these radial slicks. Both 19” radial slicks will be available March 1.
Recommend air pressures should start at 24 – 26 psi cold and after a 20 minute track session, the hot pressures should be in the range of 32 – 34 psi hot. An increased air pressure setting of 2 – 4 psi above recommended on all four corners should be used when running at a banked oval

well race weekend is finally here.
looking for more input on what psi to run.
suggestions seem to be all over the place, more than i expected, trying to find a good average suggested psi to start with.
thanks fellas!
