i ran them about 32 hot.

if you do 34 i think you will be losing a slight amount of grip. give it a try.

i dunno if i do it right but i usually mark my tires with white paint. i can then see how much rolling over i do and adjust pressure accordingly.

as for the white paint trick...i would do that to adjust camber more so than tire pressure...

about 35 hot seems to be quite good for 050's. 37-38 got a bit slippery

i have a slightly modded ap1, so it's even trickier than an ap2...thus what i do below should 'feel' even better on an ap2 doing lapping...

using staggered setip 17x7.5fr and 17x8.5rr, bridgestone RE01R tires (615 somewhat similar tire in the dry):

-show up with stock pressure 32psi (cold) all around, do 4 laps warm things up
-pressures get up to about 41psi (depending on weather), car very squirrly (now hot)
-pit in, check pressures (u should really check pressures all around first, THEN start dropping air per tire)
-drop pressures to 32 (hot) and get back out there to see how it feels
-now comes in personal feel for driving style/car setup, etc., so you can adj as how u feel fit for your driving that day. i usually go down to about 29-30psi (hot) in the rear, leave 32 up front. if u want to be 'safe' then do up to maybe 38-40psi in front while hot so you know you're not going over to much on the tire.

our cars are light, doesnt pay off much to have high pressures.
