My first 2 DE's I left the tire pressure at normal 30fr/36rear as I could not find anyone to give me a straight answer. On my 3rd DE the general concensous was standard plus 5 and let the air out as they heat up. I noticed the car getting squirilly (sic) in the rear end towards the end of the day. on my 4th DE with stock +5 lbs I lost control of the car in the 3rd session. I am going back to 32/36 to see what happens. Of course my DE tires are Continental Conti Sport 2 which I am finding out are not considered to be the best tires for the track. I am going to try my Michelins this weekend and see how they do.
