    24psi hot (rear) but it raped my rear slick so cleverer peope like gixxerracer told me they needed more air. 29 psi hot (front) but it's a road tyre. Front felt planted.

    Um, alot depends on what brand and model you ride and compound? Also there is always the personal preference as to what feels good to you just like suspension and setup. And then there is cold, hot off warmers for 45mins or hot off track.

    As far as sports tyres go I'm thining I'll run higher PSI at Hampton vs Taupo.

    Ran M3's at Taupo and found 30f/30r cold (after sitting for 80min between sessions) to work best. Usually would start 1 PSI lower in the morning when it's still freezing.

    I'm thinking for HD up 1 or 2 PSI to reduce the heat buildup from extra grippy surface (plus warmer track) - at least in the rear.

    Sound logical to anyone else?
