Autox with Stock 4season runflats?

Anyone run an event on their stock all season runflats?
don't mind being slow as this is my first autox in a MCS.
But will it cause any harm to the tires? my other wheels are being refinished and event is this weekend!
Any recommendations for air pressure?

You'll have fun, but remember to leave enough rubber to get home.

I ran them a couple times, but never really nailed down a good pressure. The side walls on the run flats are really stiff. Don't overdrive the course and they will be fine.
Here is a older thread that a few people replied to. Have fun .

I ran some events last year on my almost worn out stock runfalts. I had the pressure to low on the first day and chunked the front tires. The next day I ran about 42lbs in front and rear. But I understand more pressure in the rear makes it easier to rotate the rear. This was on an old worn asphalt parking lot.

I ran 3 events and a autoX school with the runflats. It's wearing them out fast. I was running the pressure 40 all around. Then a fellow FWD guy running with me said he runs less in the rear so I tried 40 in the front and 35 in the rear. I went as low as 30 in the rear but that was to little. I thought it felt better with 35 than 40 in the back. I will try running higher pressures in the back next week end and see how that feels. What pressures do you guys run? I will be looking for new wheels and tires for next season but I'm stuck with the runflats for now. I was going to add a swaybar to help with the understeer in a month or so.
