I'm sure there a good # of people running these awsome tires on their 240....I'm one of them, but I'm not too sure what pressure to run.  Since I'm unable to actually get to a track and test different pressures and there's not really a good way to tell how fast your going on the street (cept maybe exit speed/rpm) so since I can't really test the effect of +/- 5 PSI.  I was hopeing some of you could share what you have found to be the best PSI to run in these tires.

I'm currently running 35PSI cold, I'm thinking about putting it up a bit to help reduce rollover but I'm not sure if it'll be better.  It may feel better cauz it's harder (more/better feedback) but I'm not sure if I'll start to lose contact patch at 40psi...of if, once hot, the pressure will be too much.  I'll have to check again but IIRC 50psi max on these.

maybe i can help. i know i'm a fng, but i have cone killing experience:D. the azenis have a very stiff side wall so over inflation is not needed. my suggestion would be in the 32 - 34 psi range and see how you like it. the ultimate way is to go to a wide, empty parking lot. chalk the tires. and drive in figure 8 patterns. adjust the tires pressure until the chalk is removed evenly across the tire. hope i helped, good luck  

ps, this is nice site you guys have <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

i run my 95 solo1 with azenis and run them at 40psi...i think this is a good setting with minimal rollover and good patch, &nbsp;yes i have chalked and this was good

What PSI do they get up to at full temp? &nbsp;Or is 40psi measured at full temperature?

i have never got a hot reading more than 46psi. my tire temps on the meter are only varying by 5 degrees between outer and inner edge

6+ sounds about right. i've had 8+ psi, but that was only once in VERY hot weather (115-F) after some hard running.
