I ran 32 cold which was probably 36-38 hot and it seemed to work pretty well. I probably could have gone down a bit for more grip but I was happy with how the RE-01rs performed and I didn't want to change them.

When I first started at Buttonwillow I was posting times in the low 2:30s and after getting some instruction from a nice guy in a yellow Z06 named Terry, my times went down to my fastest of 2:15.xx. I got these times on configuration 13CW though.
jeez, can we talk on PM about what this guys' tips were?!!!

Yea, I've never driven a street or DOT-R tire that could go that low without severely overheating.
I run my hooisers at 32 hot. Tho I'm not about to say i've done a ton of temp testing on it them. Just messing with pressures over the years and I find they behave much better when I treat them (pressure wise) more like slicks.

yeah but when you have time improvements by that much over a single session or day it is because you have grown bigger balls and are now pushing your limit more.
If somebody drops 15 seconds in a single day, after getting one session of instruction, then I would call that a very productive session of instruction.

Emelio Cervantes (spelling?) is my instructor. He's really good from what I can tell. I started off in the 16's range, after half a session with him, my times started plummeting, ending in the 12's with a passenger, at the last session of the day (greasy!). I can still make up time in the two slow corners (keep missing the apex), and in the fast corners. Car is far from ideal too, oem pads only had 1/3 material at the start of the day 
Can't wait to go back to button, such a fun track. Picked up a Recaro SPG on the way home too
