[FONT=Times]Hi 914 Guys
I'm chasing tire pressures due to a recent switch to the Kumho Victor Racers. I'm wondering what sort of tire pressures are being used for Autocross on your 914's. Don't want to know about racing pressures just AutoX. I realise that different shocks, sway bars, torsion bars are going to come into play but I'm looking for "ball park" figures.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but in AX there's
usually something else to be concerned about
compared to big tracks. Where we are we run a lot
of slaloms, and I think sometimes you can do better
on that kind of course by overinflating a little, to
make the car respond faster, at the expense of a
bit of grip. When you do a bunch of fast maneuvers
I think you want the car to bite quickly.

Also I haven't done a lot of experimenting with the
Kumho pressures, but I run 35 all around, and keep
it there if they heat up (long courses without huge
time between runs).
