You may want to use a pyrometer to look at variation across the tread to adjust this some (I use a $20 laser gun, since I'm mostly interested in relative spread rather than true temps). Once you start seeing the insides cooler than middle you are at- or over the optimal pressure; outside will always be hotter on our cars b/c can't set camber. And FWIW, I use roughly 35f/37r on the street; factory specs are biased to give good ride and a little more understeer, this sharpens up the steering response for me.

Thanks. I was thinking of DM'ing you rather than posting since you always give the most relevant responses to my questions. Sure enough, though, you responded and seem right on target. thanks. I've got an IR thermometer for my pizza oven so perfect, and from your post, it does look like around 40 psi hot for MPSS is about right.
