I was running 32 front and rear, but on pzero nero's they always look a bit flat (soft sidewalls) so now I run 36 at the front just to absorb the bumps on our crap roads.

I run about 34 on the roads to try and protect from potholes, and 28 on track (starting cold).

Do mean for road or track ?

If for road i have mine at 32 all round.

If you are thinking about track for you, i would increase the pressure to about 42 just in case the tyres get so cold, they come off the rims.

At the first bend

31 front 29 rear I run on the goodyears (225/40/18) on road, (as the car is slightly nose heavy)

30 hot on track is what I will aim for on 888's

Around 30, any more on UK roads especially in the winter when the rubbers cold and it's gets a bit jiggly.
