Hey CapriRacer, Do you road race in IT?
I used to race a CRX si in SCCA showroom stock class late 80s. Used the Yokohama 008 tire. At a national event a Yokohoma rep said to me on the sly inflate to 45psi cold and run in lap or two come in and tire should be 50-52psi hot.
Side wall i think was 38psi. I did this and handling was much better.
Guy at Jackson Racing confirmed this and he said as high as 55ps hot.

They say this pressure keeps sidewall from deforming at hi cornering speeds. BIR turn 1 was about +110mph.

I run my G1 Insight at 60psi no issues. But just bough new in Oct so I will see how they do and report back.
