Does anyone have experience with these tires? I picked up a set in 225/50/15 for lapping/solosprint and any help with starting tire pressures to try out would be appreciated. I'm used to running a 3600lb car on Victoracers so this is a huge change for me. Thanks.

Here's a starting guideline i got from the Audi club list:

>(Vehicle Weight in lb/100) + 2 psi at heavier end + (2 psi all around if suspension and alignment are stock).

>(3000/100) = 30 psi
>Add 2 psi all around = 32 psi
>Add 2 psi to heavy end = 34 psi at rear
>With modified suspension, the result is 30 psi front, 32 psi rear.
