Default Azenis tire pressure?

I've had them on for almost 2 weeks now and they are great handling, but the car feels sluggish, almost like if the tires were low but the pressure is actually higher than spec. I have 205/55/15.

Is it because the rubber is that soft?

What tire pressure are you guys running?

Why are you use 205/55/15.......I think 205/50/15 should be the right size!!

anyway, I'm using Azenis (205/50/15), I put 35/33 psi (same as stock) when driving on street.
As for AutoX......I raised the pressure to 39/39 psi to get more rotation.

sorry, I meant to write 205/50/15.
Does it feel sluggish when driving normally on the street?

Yeah, they do feel a little softer...
for track I run ~35-36 front, ~39 rear. (cold)
you should run lower in front for track cause you have to take into consideration the increase pressure from heat generated from hard brake use.

Why use Cold presurre, it doesn't mean much. Did you try to measure the pressure between runs?

I've tried different pressures on my Azenis at the last event and ended up running 43f 48r. This is on a Talon, so it might like different pressures from an itr. However, when I used to autox an itr about three years ago on A032Rs, I was running very similar pressures. If the tires feel sluggish, just try raising the pressure.
