Default Michelin PS2 question

I recently put PS2s on my C6. I've done two track schools on them, and they are the best tires I have ever used! During the two track events, I was running the tires at 36 to 38 psi most of the time, on track. Then today, I was doing a little spirited driving around a couple of my favorite highway ramps, and the tires seemed to handle even better, and the pressure was about 30. So now I'm wondering if I have been running them a little over-inflated on the track. I'm sure going to do a little more experimenting next time on the track. Just wondering what pressure others using the PS2 have found to be the best?

Only down side I've experienced is disappointing wet traction.

people usually run at higher pressures on the track for 2 reasons. to prevent the tire from rolling under in a turn and to keep the tire temp in a certain range. Call or email michelin to get their recommendation on cold AND hot psi...I think 36-40 would be the range...probably higher in front than rear...I would talk to michelin....
