I haven't been racing for 35 years, but I can tell you that my best times at auto-x had the street tires set around 38-40 psi. Considering that is ~10 psi over the settings in the owners manual, I wonder if one can go up another 10 psi and get back to roughly original grip levels. I'd like to see some data on that.
