Default Michelin Pilot tire pressure

Anyone else out there running the run flats? What do you find works best for tire pressure on the street? Also, what about the track since I plan on going Friday.

Thanks guys

I hate runflats. They make cars ride rough. I would set TP sensors at 32 psi cold. As for racing the sidewalls are so stiff that no matter what you put the pressure at it will be hard to get traction.

They're set at about 30 - 32 PSI right now although the side walls list a max of something like 51 PSI. Talk about a really rough ride. I know I'll have to get some good DR's for the track but I wanted to give it a try with these first.

Thanks for the info.
