GP AutoX Tire Pressures on RFTs?

For those of you who have AutoX'd your GP in stock form, with the stock RFTs - what do you suggest for tire pressure?

The track surface is asphalt. I have an event on Sunday and a good baseline would definitely help.


Thx!

Scott -

Is that right - 46 cold in the FR? Seems a bit high

Handled better like that.. The fronts gripped better, rear tracked real well.. Correct? I don't know, but I liked the way it drove

The stock GP ran pretty well in DSP. I came in second, losing only to a turbo'd/hoosier Grand Am by about a second.

The tire pressures that worked best (for me) was 38FR and 41RR. This will get the rear to break out a little and the fronts to maintain bite. Anything over 43 and the fronts washed out.

Hope this helps.

Thx!!
