Sorry Jay, just took out the dogs for their walk. Nah mate, nothing wrong with the tire you posted.

PSI: Undefined really. Best to talk to your track-side 'aware' tire manufacturer for the baseline really. If you do regular track days then sadly you got to learn the visual difference between cold/hot tears so you can adjust your psi for both ambient temp & driving style through your days. Remember, you are more aggressive in the afternoon when the ambient temp (and track) is much hotter than cold morning. I often have a good 4~6psi difference between morning and afternoon session/race. 4psi is often just enough to ruin a tire within 3 hot laps (road rashes aren't kool loll).

Other factors also, tire compound, types, treaded/slicks, etc. Friggin science almost :/

Won't go in details RE rebound, compression, spring load, etc. Sure the Internet can teach you all about dialing your suspension. That only is you use adj coilovers (PS9?, Ohlins, etc etc).

ps: Got the M30 here, new, 4 years old only (ROW I think its called, forgot). Awesome kit (and affordable) for the street and occasional track day I've heard. Bit stiff over road bumps Go kart stuff man, you won't regret
