Default 997s with Toyo R888s - Question

What pressures are you running at the track events? I got the 235/295 in 19s and I want a good place to start and I figured that I'd sponge some good info from you!

Thanks,

I dont know about 19s, but the cup cars in WC were running around 34-37psi hot, but they were on 18s. with 19s, maybe you would want lower pressure to have them work better. let us know how it works, and maybe do a test of two different pressures by 4psi .
Have fun!

As everyone else has already stated...mid 30's hot is the sweet spot for them. I usually ended up at around 35-36psi hot where I liked them on my 996.

This was 18" sizes.

Anything more than 38 hot they get slick and the center of the rears wear out. Play around with 36-37 hot. I start out with 27 front and rear cold and adjust from there

Similar to most in this thread - 36F/37R hot seems to work best. They feel like the roll a lot w/ less and they definitely get slipperly at 40+. This is on a 997s
