Default RE 11's

Bridgestone RE 11's on today. Going to Drive For Babies again this year at Road America in October. Last year the standard run flats left much to be desired. What should be my cold starting pressure? Any ideas. The shop inflated to #40 when they mounted them. Base coupe with Z51 sways. Stock shocks, Vararam, Corsa, and a tune.

Your manual tells you that tires should be 30psi cold. I don't see how those tires should be any different.
