Default VictoRacer V700, what PSI?

I have an Integra GSR and will be attending Streets of Willow next Thursday. I am going to be running 205-50-15 on ITR wheels. Just wondering what anybody would suggest as to what PSI you think I should run?

TIA

Is this an autocross or what?

I run V700s on a G2 teg and try to get 38-40 psi hot.

This is a road course. Actually, its somewhat a short cut and through what people tell me, max speed is like 80-90mph

Mike,
Call tirerack, it's toll free and they sell these tires all day long; if you give them a description of your car, estimated weight, ambient temps, etc., if 100% sure they can give an accurate pressure reccomendation. Also, it also depends on how you want your car to behave, and at which end you want to increase/decrease traction/grip.

Im not sure about holding up, but alot of my friends use it. This is my first time using it on the track. First time I was on the track I was on Azenis

I haven't had done any road racing yet but use Victoracers for auto-xing. From what I 'm told by other road racers I auto-x with, pressures should be several PSI below auto-x pressures and 35-37psi seem to be the prevelant #s.

30 psi or less cold front, ~32-ish cold rear. Goal is to be at 40 psi hot.

Victoracers are great at the track, they really start to grip when they get hot. I think i run around 38-39 front hot and 35ish rear, or did last time i used them at a track (they were old). It's fun being on R compounds when no one else is.

Since we are on this subject, how bad or well do these wear on a track?

With the car properly setup and not over driven, they will easily last 8 track day weekends. Otherwise, the outsides will cord fast.
