I started running the MPSC's last season. I talked with people, did research and even talked with Michelin Motorsports Division for optimal tire pressures.

The overall consensus (confirmed by Michelin) was to run 26f/28r cold to achieve 32/36 hot. Even on colder days, the starting pressures yielded the proper hot pressures. I bleed down to 32/36 if they get too high. The tires feel greasy to me if they get above this range.

Generally, after the first session, the pressures after a run stay consistent with the range that I'm looking for.

I don't have a pyrometer, so I don't know the actual tire temps. Maybe I'll have to borrow Chris's.
