Best for street?

Best for track?

Best for autocross?

Street: 30 psi cold all around. Ride will be smoooooth.

Road course: 37 front cold, 35 rear cold. Prevents tires from blistering from heat and protects outside edge from premature wear.

Autox: some personal preference here, but I prefer 33 front cold and 32 rear cold. A friend of mine ran those pressures at the NCCC National Convention in BG in June and won the stock street tire and stock with race tire classes. Pretty awesome considering many of the C5s and Z06s were on race rubber against his Eagle F1s!

I was running 30 cold at VIR this weekend. At the end of one of the dry sessions I checked them hot and they were just under 40. How high can you safely go?

I haven't checked them hot, but I've got about 1000 high speed track miles on the car with no problem.

Ruppert Bragg-Smith told me at Button Willow to run cold 34 front and 32 rear on the track. I run this or 35/33.
