Any recomendations on tire pressure?
I have a stock 305 5L V8 that I'm going to start autocrossing and I was wondering what tire pressures everyone thinks would be best.

I plan on running 44 front and 40 rear.

Re: Any recomendations on tire pressure?
what kind of tires? what size/brand/etc?

I'd run 40 front and 32-ish rear if it's street tires and adjust the rears accordingly for contact patches made during a burnout. If the inner is darker drop psi a little(2 pounds) then try again. If the outer is darker, add pressure.

Drag radials are 18-22 and slicks are 13-18 for starters. Good luck.

Are you giving me figures for drag racing or autocross? I need autocross figures.
