The  autocrossers (for the race) will go to 40psi all the way around.  So,  
what (if anything) does that say?





Most new autocross tires, whether DOT "hot spec" autocross tires or even  the 
newer slicks run a lot less pressure than that these days. Pressure is  
commensurate with load on the tire - which also depends on the size of the tire  
and the footprint. Now, on a street tire, the higher pressure helps maintain the 
 pattern on the ground, but for correct pressures, visual inspection of the  
contact patch is the best guideline. - Seth
