Default Hoosier a7 tire pressure for autocross

Hello all - I recently purchased some Hoosier A7's in a square setup of 295/30/18 for my C5. What tire pressure do you guys recommend I run for a day of autocross?

Each car and setup is going to be different based on alignment settings, but I run ours at 27-31 depending on the racing surface, grip and attitude of the car.

My setup is 315/335 and I run 32f/27r but you REALLY should do your own testing, each car/driver is different.

Use a PROBE PYROMETER and follow the directions/recommendations. Also use this tool for ALIGNMENT.

Very camber sensitive

My car goes from being on rails to undriveable is the pressures are off.
