    I've heard these tires like higher pressure, and I tend to agree based on street riding. Does anyone run them on the track, and what do you think?
    I run 38/38.

    Might not be helpful but I think 30/30 is often recommended for street tires on the track.

    Pilot Power 3's? Defintely lower in the rear... Start with 26 rear 29 front, work from there.

    I have found they grip well, especially in lower temperatures, but get greasy when hot. Adjust pressures accordingly!

    For the street I'd run them at something more like 32/32. They get hotter on the track, hence the lower starting pressure of 30/30.

    You haven't seen me ride on the street! No, really, I appreciate the input.

    I hope your affairs are in order if you're riding as hard on the street as we do on the track. Good luck.
