Yoko 215/45/17 Tire Pressure for Cabrio?

Driver only, what would be the ideal tire pressure for aggressive twisties driving? I'm at 33 now.

I dont run Yokos, but i run same size 215/45 on by BS RE750s... i run 38 all around..

autox i run 38F, 40R

hope this helped

33 sounds pretty good, i'd pump it up to 36 just for lower resistance, and better economy

Thanks kyriian. Intuition would lead me to believe tires get "grippier" at lower pressure, but intuition can be a dangerous thing . . .
