At the DE..

the temps were in the high 40's and rain--not conducive to getting the tires warmed. I went with 35/37 (f/R) and it seemed pretty balanced. Wet traction was very good, almost amazing.

this past weekend we did the evo auto-x school, in similar temps, and I went roughly 40/40 Hot; I think I could have used bit more in the front but overall it wasn' bad. Have to say, the turn in compared to Victoracers just wasn't there--these tires have traction but they almost feel like a touring tire unless you get the pressures way up. Pilot Sport Ribs ( or MXX3) have much firmer sidewalls and corresponding sharper flexes. These are great around town tires but my next track set wil be different; maybe the Falken 615. BTW, my extra set came with the PS2's.
