If you are new to "Tracking" your car I recommend starting with high pressure. About 35 cold is a good place to start. This will give you crisp turn in and a stiffer sidewall which will prolong tire life while you work on your skills. Forget lap times and focus on learning the line and smooth balanced carving turns. I have seen aggressive new drivers destroy a $1000 set of tires in one day by pushing too hard around the course with low tire pressures.
