Default N-Rated MPSC Track Pressures

I've got a set of the N-rated (faux) MPSCs on my 997C2S, and realized that I've completely forgotten what hot pressures these tires are the happiest at on the track. I've done a quick search, but have not found anything - I would appreciate any suggestions that you may have, especially since I'm going to my first track event of this season after a long winter break later this week. Thanks in advance for any help.

I ran these tires this last weekend. I have been told as high as 36 FR 38 Rear hot. I was having better results around 33 FR 34 Rear. Could be do to my poor driving but after about 5 laps I found them to be very slippery.

I'm with toomey, they like 34F 36R hot or thereabouts. I have also found the Pirelli Corsa N tires to be better than the faux cups.

Bob Rouleau has it right. BTW, junk these crappy tires and move onto TOYO R888s...

That's the plan. Really not happy with these, but feel the need to wear them out first before moving onto the R888!

I agree with Bob--34f and 36r seems to work well. This means starting around 26/27 cold.
