Kumho Victoracer V700 Tire pressure
Any idea what tire pressure I should run for autocross on Kumho Victoracer V700 225/50-16 on 8x16 front and rear? I have run street tires in the past and this will be my first time out on these tires. Thanks in advance.

They have much stronger sidewall construction, so you generally run lower pressure than street tires without risking rolling over on the sidewall. I ran about 12 or 13psi less than street tires. 35front 32rear. Of course, it's on a totally different car with totally different tire size 
.
Bring the usual gear and make some test runs. Chalk the sidewalls, and probe the inside/middle/outside tire temps for each tire, make notes to find the optimal settings.

I run 38F/36R hot at the track on my 968. This is with 265F/225R tire widths. I began with 36 on the front, but was rolling the sidewalls.
Temps look pretty even across the tires at these pressures.
