I believe 32 is what is recommended at cold. Probably around 34-36 since it's still hot outside. I wouldn't go and higher than 40. The higher the pressure, the more wear and tear you put on the tire when you hit rocks and railroad tracks etc.

Are you talking about racing at the track, or street driving?

The fronts are supposed to have less rolling friction so they get the higher pressure, and the rears are supposed to be lower for grip. You got it backwards, and I wouldnt run 60psi in your tires. Last thing you want is a blowout up front when you are racing at 100mph.
What do I know though, go try it and see what happens... |

zigzagg321 36 for the rear and 34 or 32 for the front.
i said 20 for back, 60 for front so i had it right......... zigzagg had it backwards. but i was thinkn 60 is too high for front since 44 was max but the guy has been racin since he was 16 an knos his **** but i dunno. ill prob end up just doing max 44 psi in front.
