AX pressures for 205/50/15 Yoko A032R Softs Options

I have recently moved from Falkens to Yokohama A032R softs on 5.5 wheels. In my last AX I ran 35 psi all the way around. What are others running with these tires?

When I first got the tires I called Yokohama's "trackside assistance" line. They said start at 35psi. A032r's ( soft ) are supposed to heat up quick as they are specifically designed for a/x and track. www.yokohamatire.com/ KT

Its funny I started real high at 38 to 40 PSi similar to what I ran in the Falkens and the Yoko's just didnt seem to be right to me. I lowered to 35 psi and I didnt get nearly the sideway flex I got with the Falkens. I noticed my car was pushing a little during Sacratmento so I decided to go 35 on all 4 rather than soften my front koni's.

Its been interesting for me to get use to r compound tires. My first AX on the Yoko's (Marina) I wasnt driving the tire to its maximum grip. I was use to the grip of my Falkens. So corners where the falkens would break into a predictable drift the yoko's just stuck.

Then when I went to Sac Valley I went opposite extreme and spun the car becuase I got too confident. Guess I had to do that to figure out the limit of the tire!

I just want to make sure I'm not missing something by going with even lower pressures. I dont like fiddling with pressures at an event much. I pretty much dial in and work with what I have.
