PS2's tire pressure.....

Finally got my PS2's and will have them installed tomorrow. I got 255/40/18 and 275/35/18 front and rear respectively. Any E63's running this so far? What tire pressures for these tires? May just start w/ 35-37 all around. What do you guys think?

you see i had mine at 23-24psi and it was not great..
filled them up to 2.6 front and 2.8 at the back (this is bar, not sure what it is in psi) and found it helped with my traction issues and some what with road noise.

Thinking of getting the toyo tire if i can find it here in my country, as short burst from slow speeds is mostly what i race at. I do also run to 260kph 2-3 times a week when i visit my mates house and come back home when the roads are empty

I like the added air to help hold up the sidewalls on hard turning. It is less cushy, but slightly more responsive. Also, I play with the front or rear to help balance the car. Sometimes, the front at 38 and the rear at 42 is a good spot for me. It helps with the push that I used to have.
