I also have the Pirelli slicks & Bob Woodman (the dealer) told me to run them between 30 - 33 lbs hot. They felt great at those pressures.

Do you guys really notice a difference if you break in tires. I never noticed any difference in my old R3S03 Hoosiers, and I have not noticed any difference in Goodyear radial slicks or the Dunlop slicks I run now. So I just run on stickers. What has been your experiences?
Thx,
