Default Tire Pressure - Track

Hey Folks,

Going to the track tomorrow and haven't run the 997 Turbo in over 1.5 years on the track.
I forgot, but what's the recommended hot and cold pressures?

Michellin Pilots

Thanks

If you let them get to 40 or above they will be greasy.

Thanks guys.. Had a great day at Buttonwillow..

I'd tell you what temps I was running but the car and the hand meter were not in sync.. It was a little bit of a guessing game.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but it is helpful...

Any idea what temp to run with autocross? Obv the tires won't get as hot as they would on the racetrack... I was thinking 2 or 3 PSI below the porsche recommended... now I am wondering if this will be too high?
