Default What is the best PSI for tires on the track?

I bought kumho XS tires and I am heading to the track this weekend. I wanted to know what is the best PSI for the tires on the track. I know that they get hot and the PSI goes up during the 20 minute sessions. I see other guys checking tire pressures when they get off the track and then adjusting the PSI. I wanted basics in tire pressure management on track days....

I'd say start at 30-35psi cold and go from there. I have no experince with these particular tires though. on my kuhmo V710's i've started out at 19-25psi depending on the day
