Many say to start at 50 in the front on an fwd car with street tires and 45 in the back. It varies so much that it is impossible to be more specific then "higher then you ever thought of running on the street, then add about 5 psi"

i run 42 and 42. When the tires get warm it takes them up to 45 and 45 and that is where i keep them. mark the sidewalls of your tires and when you are finished wiht your run look to see if any rubbed off. if none did then lower the pressures alittle and if a lot did add some. it is the best way to figure out your driving.

48 front, 34 in the back. I might have to take it up to 50 this weekend though, I scrubbed off a little more than I wanted to.

I'm still not even touching my marks on my back tires, but I don't want to let out more than 34 which is my street pressure.

Anyways, it all seemed to work last weekend.
