I'm pushing. Help me turn in.

Ran 25psi front and 27 psi rear. How low can I go?

I'll loosen up the front bar as well. Workin' on tiars right now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Generally Hoosiers don't like to be run that low. I experimented with pressures from as low as 24# and found they would stick the best at 31# cold which is what they recommend in the pamphlet that comes with them from Tire Rack.
But that is on the track where I get them heated up after a lap. You're doing AX, you should be using the A series but I'm sure you know that. When I ran them as low as 24, 25 and 26# cold I felt like the side wall was starting to roll over.
So, I don't know what to tell you for R tires on AX but I still don't think you want to be running that low. I would try 29# to 31# range ambient temperature.
