I try to keep them 30-32 hot. I seem to lose the back end when the pressure goes higher then that. To get to the 30 mark, I start them at 24ish but that's greatly dependent upon weather. I'm talking about road course temps, not street driving. Good luck.

yes guess I should have specified - this was in regards to use on road racing tracks for lapping. Not street driving, drag, or autocross.

Here's a good Hoosier Tech Bulletin about stuff such as initial heat cycle, optimum tire temps, camber settings, and of course pressure recommendations:

You can see Hoosier says for a car like ours that weighs more than 3,000 lb, run the R6 at hot pressure of 38-43+ psi.
