For the street, I run at or near the recommended (mine is 36/44).

For the track, I run well lower, maybe 6 or so psi lower.

Been using the factory 36/44 during the 1st year of ownership for me (2007)...... and it seems to be very good. I do watch it when Im driving more agressive (lets say in the mountains). I have taken the fronts up to 38, but after LONG periods of the harder driving (twisty stuff) like to keep the warm below 40.

On a side-note. I would recommend keeping a nice pressure gauge along. I've got a Longacre that I like alot.

I have been running about 33F/38R. Poked around when making my decision and came up with those as recommended, and they have worked great for me so far.

I have 19 in. wheels and used to had 37 front & 44 rear. Joined PCA and ran AX. My car was skating the course like an Olympic ice skater. My instructor told me to deflate the tire or I'll be in ditches. He did advised to have the front @ 33 & rear @ 37 for aggressive driving habit.
