EDIT:

Short version: I suck and have no idea.

Long version:

The perfect tire pressure is akin to the ideal woman - ask 100 guys, you'll get 100 answers. The guy who regularly snags TTOD at the AX events I go to runs at 34 PSI all around. The only guy who beats him runs 37/40.

I realized the folly of my tire pressure angst a few events ago. From now on, I'm not going to try to dial in the "perfect" tire pressure until I'm within a few seconds of the best driver in my class. When the day comes that I'm consistently running amazing times and need to fine-tune my tire pressures to shave off a quarter-second, I'll be a happy guy.

Unfortunately, I suspect this will be the same year I win the Nobel peace prize and Bank of America has to increase the size of ATM LCD panels because my bank balance keeps wrapping to two lines.
