285 Hoosier a6 tire pressures???

For those of you running the 285 hoosiers, what tire pressures have you found optimal

"Optimal" will be surface, car set-up and driving style dependent. The typical range for a B-stock prepped car (including max. negative front camber) is 36 to 44 psi, hot pressure.

Thanks Chris. I actually currently have kumhos on the car but from past experience i know the kumhos run about 1-2lbs less than hoosiers with everything else the same. This past weekend i ended up at 36 frt and 34 rear so im pretty close and the car felt good

We ended up at 40f/42r with the 285. Slightly higher rear pressures will help with the off corner push that many of us encounter with the typical RX8 BS set up.
