what is a good place to to set the cold tire preasures for hoosiers. what do you usuaaly see hot?

In my experience, and probably what you'll hear from other people, Hoosiers like 40psi hot. That's what I shoot for on any of our Hoosier shod IT cars. What you start them at has a lot to do with air temp, track temp, weather, weight of the car, configuration of the track, etc. So it's hard to say where to start them at. I assume this is for your ITB car, so I'd guess if you started around 32psi front and 35psi rear, you shouldn't be too far off. That's assuming a dry track, but not super hot surface temps.

What my team mate and I run are pretty much opposite of everyone on the planet. We both drive ITC, but his is a CRX and mine is a Civic. Depending on the track/weather/age of the tires/etc. it's 32-34 front and 30-32 rear. That's for 225/45, front and rear bars, 27mm torsion, 350 lb. coil over, Tokico shocks set way up there. Works for us, and he's got several track records and 5 ARRC wins behind him...that's usually where I run.

Chris - Where do your rear temps end up hot. I was always more on the 34ish front and 36ish rear. and liked my hot temps around 40 - 42.

Same as you. Driving style and tracks apparently tell more of the tail.
