Just curious as to what tire specs and pressures everyone is running.
I will be running 215/45/17's on the front, and 235/40/17's on the rear. using Kumho V70 semi slicks. I'm not sure as to what tire pressure to run though as this will be my first time on the track...

Mate your looking to end up with a hot pressure of about 30-32psi depending on the setup and level of experience. To achieve this i would start at about 24psi cold and just take it reasonably easy for the 1st lap or so, Kumhos do come up to temp pretty quick though. soon as the 1st session is finished come in and check you tyre press and bring it down to 30-32 psi if it has exceeded it which it should have. Make sure you get yourself a good pressure gauge not a cheap and nasty 1. tyre pressures will make a huge difference and will also extend tyre life if ran at the correct pressure.
