Got a set of RA-1 205/55R14 on a 95 teg . Was at Shannoville on Monday nite in the rain. We ran 34.5 on the front and 33 on the rear . This was the first time on the track for the car and myself .The car seemed to stick like no street car I have driven before . Any advice on a good start off pressure ? It was about 8-10 c. cloudy . The t/p varied about a half pound on periodic checks. This was one lap ,wait then go again cool down abit then go again. Any one out there with similar setup .

There really is no short answer to this. It all depends on your driving style, suspension setup, negative camber, etc. However, for the sake of brevity, you should probably strive for about 40 PSI hot.

Best thing to do is to chalk your tires and then use that information to inflate your tires to maximize the contact patch. Then adjust to combat for over/understeer.
