Trackday tyre pressures?

Holy thread revival batman.
Basically, you can't give a general pressure for all track tyres.
The difference between a dunlop slick and a Michelin road tyre could be as much as 15psi.
If you have a specific tyre you want to know the pressures for, just ask
Dry tyres are Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SC2.Basically, you can't give a general pressure for all track tyres.

Wets are Michellin Pilots.

Supercorsa's hot pressures, 33F, 27RWets are Michellin Pilots.

Are the michelins a road tyre??? You should get some proper wets if you have spare wheels.

OK thanks. Is 27 psi when hot for the rear not really low? If the cold pressure is 29, surely the hot pressure will be more like 31/32?Are the michelins a road tyre??? You should get some proper wets if you have spare wheels.
They are marked "not for highway use", but only a part number on them and no other model markers I can see. Look like this (as I can't find them online):
GWM, those are proper wets. I was just checking as I'm sure Michelin do a pilot road tyre.
IIRC, I was 32/32 cold with the Michelin wets but it's been 3 years since I last used them. Ask the tyre guy on the day what they reccomend.
I think 29 cold is far too high for supercorsa's. I use 27 hot and its spot on.
