    I may have missed it, but while reading through old posts on the site, i see that there are a lot of different post that seem to mention tire pressures. I think that we should post different tires and the pressures we run as a sticky at the top of this performance and tech section I think that would be helpful for everyone. An instant cheat sheet. It may help somebody from tearing up a set of tires because of improper inflation.

    Pilot Power 30 front 30 rear (cold)







    Will the 2ct Powers require different pressure than the regular Powers?

    I've been told by the eastern Pirelli rep that Supercorsa Pro's should be 26 front & 24 rear. I've run mine for 3 days so far with excellent results. no cold tearingor unusual wear & superb grip, despite temps ranging from the low 30's to the mid 50's

    I just recently heard about that too. I can tell you i had no problems with tear or loss of grip. I got 5 track days out of them with my tire warmers. I then used them on the street and they were wonderful. Great tires.

    yes, these are definitely baseline settings. Im 185 with all my gear on. These are meant to be a guide chart to get you within a few pounds to start. The tire will tell you where it really needs to be. I had a link somewhere that showed worn out tires and the cause that made them get that way. Ill look for it. Any mod, please feel free to add the tire brands and pressures to the top post in this thread. That will save a bunch of reading.
