tire pressure on michelin pss (pilot super sport) on stock 18"
i'm thinking of moving from my pilot sport a/s plus to the pss... on my all seasons, i'm running 37 front and 35 rear... i rarely go to the drag strip but if i do, i'd like to get some opinions of what to set the tire pressure to at the track as well...
245/40-18
275/35-18
suggested tire pressures for daily driving?
suggested tire pressures for drag strip?
thank you

yes, it would go on the stock 18s at stock height. i've read threads and other members have done the same set up and no rubbing. some even say no rubbing with h&r installed

I run 36-37 psi cold and it goes up to 39-40 warm and I really like the feel with those measurements.
Not sure what the PSS's best settings would be at the drag strip, but if they are like some other tires, then 50 psi for the fronts and 25 or so psi for the rears. Just going by Petro63's suggestions in another thread.

i'm still planning on going with the pss... but i'm gonna drive on the a/s for a little longer since i just got back from the track... i'm not sure if they will be able to tell i did some burn outs on the tires and then use that against me...

Did you ever drive pilot sport A/S in light snow? What size are your current tires?
