track tire pressure I have 275/65/16 Kumho Supra 712's out back on the TA and I am taking her out to the track this saturday. I am just curious about what PSI to run in the tires for the track? Is it the same as rated on the sidewall or less and how much?
thx,
Ben

Street tires, especially wide ones tend to bow when given too little pressure so I would go around 28 to 30 psi or what your door sticker says. People who run street tires at low pressure are actually getting less traction. Good luck.
