Default Kumho v710 pressures

I know it's been discussed but I can't find it. Wanted to get everyone's take on what pressure's for this tire. cold and hot. Outside temps will probably be around 55 degrees.

710's were wholly different beasts than the earlier 700's (aka "Victoracers") and the Ecstas.

Starting pressures about 7-9lbs less than other DOT radials...and similar with hots. On 2500-2600lb. cars, we'd shoot for 31-33lbs hot.

Since Rudy (the Kumho Motorsports manager at the time) was one of our co-driver / team-mates, we tended to listen to him.

But...ymmv.

On the lighter momentum Carreras (2400-2700 pounds) we run 32 hot and expect 8-9 pounds of heat...they come up quick so after 3 laps you should be able to set the temps.

GUess I should have mentioned it's an '04 996 dedicated track car. Not sure of the exact weight but i'm guessing a bit more than the 2,400-2,700 mentioned above? If so, would you go a bit higher on the hot temps if i'm heavier?

Would also like to get a sense on where I should start them cold. Considering temps will be around 55 degrees?
