    I'm still slightly baffled by the black art of tire pressure. For the Pirelli Supercorsa SP's on my BMW I'm considering 32/26 hot because of the 91 degree high temp. Sound ok or????? :)

    I just realized I posted a question on a Friday on a Barber weekend. LOL!

    Everyone is probably unloading right now. See you guys on Sunday!

    I'd start about 30-32 front hot
    28 rear hot

    If you need more rear grip, maybe drop to 26. Better tire life, stay at 28. See how they look after a session or two. Check with the local vendor on site if you have questions. They'll be more familiar with track condition and temperatures for that day.
