Hi, going to Lightening track at NJMP on June 21st, just got a new set of Nitto NT01 215/45/17 tires, looking to get advise on some tire pressure settings, it is my first time on these class of tires, Ive previously used aventis and hankook street class tires.

Nitto recommends about 38 hot. I've found that the mini goes quicker with less, I've been running about 31/32 hot. I start with 27 cold then after each run lower the pressure as soon as I come off the track to get 31 hot. I also mark the side wall with chalk on occasion to see how well the roll of the side wall is to keep it above the arrow. I run on lowered leda coilovers with 2 degrees camber in front and 1.8 in the rear and this gives me good turning without excessive tire wear.
