Tire Pressure

[MaxVmo]

I’m equipped with Mickey Thompson 315/35R17s on the back. What tire pressure are people running with these tires? I’ve seen posts here detailing no more than 23 psi?

10 psi per thousand lb of car weight

Thing to try if you like. I started with the 10psi per 1000lbs as a base. To start painted white shoe polish across the tread. Ran the car hard. No polish left in the center of the tread to much air. No polish left at the outer tread sections not enough air. Once the stripe has even ware run the polish again around the outer edges of the tire then do very hard cornering. It the tires roll under you need a bit more air. Adjust as necessary. Expect you will wind up in the 22/24lbs range.

Well sort of. Turned out the front & rear tires have a few pounds spread between them.
