Default CTMP Mosport Tire Pressure Recommendations (997.2)

Hey Guys,
Doing my first DE at Mosport in my 997.2 C2S in a couple of weeks, just wondering what cold / hot tire pressures you guys recommend?

I am running Michelin Pilot Supersports 235 front, 305 rear on my C2S with S-PASM.

Thanks!

First DE ever, or first time at Mosport?

Mosport is pretty easy on tires. If it's your first DE ever or if it's wet, start at normal street pressures.

First DE in the 911 and on the GP track. I did the IDS (which was my first DE ever) in my 2017 Golf R cause its was raining cats and dogs.

The stock pressures are 34 front 40 rear, which seems really high for me. But maybe that should be my warm target, so start at 32 / 36?

Start 4-5 psi below your hot target (stock pressures) and then bleed them down during or after the session.

Thanks! That's what I was thinking!

Agree on the pressures--there's a shop on-site (Braidan) that can help you if any issues arise.

Mosport will blow you away--was there yesterday with 6thGear and had a blast in my Mini, moreso since the rain largely stayed away until I left
