Default PS2 pessure

Hey guys! On the Michelin PS2's, should the tire presuure pretty much be the same as the stock run-flats? Thanks

Yes. The door sticker says 30 psi. It doesn't matter what type of tire. You can vary it to suit your own needs. I run 28 in my rears due to they were wearing in the center.

Default Track it again ?

Are you girls planning on tracking the car again ? Would like to see some 1/4 mile times. Your 1/8 mile was quite impressive for the first
time out.

I run 30PSI on my PS2s and they appear to be wearing normally. They also last much longer than I expected

I spoke with one of the major shops that provide track packages for the C6 and they had their fully built track car there with PS2s on it. I asked him what they ran at the track and he said 36 psi. That's were I run mine.

We are planning on going to Road Atlanta in November. But for street use, they seem to show a little wear on the outer 2 inches whereas the center area is like new without any wear. For the track event, we will let the experts advise us on that pressure. Just checking for normal street use now.

My PS2's do the exact same thing. I usually run them at 32~35

I inflate mine to 28 in the heat of summer and 30 in spring and fall.
I like running them somewhere between 32-34 hot.
