Autocross Tire Pressure?

[Jon-Mike]

Hi -

I tried the search to no avail...was looking for some opinions on tire pressure for autocrossing? I am a NOVICE and am thinking about participating in an event or two on occasion; hence, I will just use my stock tires.

Thanks for any tips since I will be at my first event tomorrow morning with a local group!

I have been running 26-28 in my Kuhmo's. Maybe start at 30, mark the sidewall and hopefully come down a few psi.

On the stock tires, I couldn't get crisp turn-in until I bumped the front up to 38 psi, and the rears wouldn't stop rolling over until about 34. Like Tony said, mark the tires with polish and see where you need to go...

Since I have no experience on stock tires, take this advice and then lower the pressure watching the tire (sidewall) marks.

Linh, I think there are 3 autocrosses next Sunday....which way to go ????

I'm not an expert, but I have found that 36 PSI works for me on autocross and 18 psi on drag radials for drag racing.
