What tire pressure for Corsa System tires?
For those running PZero Corsa Systems for the track, what hot pressure are you running? I previously ran 35 psi for the MPSC but on tire rack, they suggest 30 PSI hot is the designed operating temp. What have been others' experience? Thanks.

I was happiest running my Cups at ~32-33psi hot. Same with Systems. Lower was definitely better and they never got greasy at those pressures. Be curious to see what others say...

I ran the Corsa's all season. Felt best at the end of a session when max hot pressures were 36 rear and 32 front, checked in hot pits, no cooldown lap. Started feeling greasy when even close to 40 on the rears. Areed that lower is beter to a point, never had any sidewall wear even with the lower pressures. These tires have worn like iron, very pleased with them.

I played with them this weekend, trying them mostly between 33 and 36 and settled pretty close to your pressures Jon. Seemed to like 34/35 and agreed upon the cold pressures (though the day started at 29 degrees so I think I had to bleed a couple of extra pounds as it warmed up!).

I used up my regular track tires and popped the OE Systems on the car a couple weekends ago for a track event. Low is the way to go. I wound up 30-31 hot all around to get any bite at all. Otherwise it wears out the centers.

I also run low pressure: 2.0/2.2 (around 29/32) it works well on the Ring...

Wanting 30-31 hot I guess it will be a crapshoot to figure out where to start when it's cold. Temps at RA that time of year could be anywhere, but probably hot and humid...
