Estimate on PSI for auto-x
I searched and I only found responses for lighter cars...obviously, my car weighs quite a bit. I'm running worn down Potenza S-03's 215/55/16 at the track, how many PSI should I go with? I'm thinking like 37.5. And how much of a difference will having more or less PSI in the back make? Thanks in advance guys.

Use some chalk on the edges of the tires. You should scuff the chalk not past the shoulders of the tire.
I would start higher personally since I Know the sidewalls on the S03s are softer than the Azenis and I run 38f/43r. I would go with 41f/43r to start.

I think I had some coherent thoughts in there...
