Default Kumho Ecsta XS track pressure?

Wondering what you guys with these tires are running on track as far as pressures go? Any input appreciated, thanks!

32/36 maybe 34/36. Make adjustments after your run session based on the car's handeling and your instructor's input.

Thanks Lex, I'm in solo and just starting to play with tire pressures to get a bit more out of the car, so I was looking for some baseline guidance. Those were similar to what I ended up running today so looks like I'm on the right track.

Kumhos on the track can be a little noisy when you start pushing them. How were yours? And I assumed you are running 18's.

I run the new direzza 2's. Had the star specs last year. Was told by instructor/tuner/racer that our cars should be right at 40 hot all around. I run 225F and 265R.
