Can anyone suggest the Renault recommended tyre pressures for a 16" tyre Clio 172 Phase 2 for the road and also a tried and tested pressures for the track?

My car had books but went missing as I collected the car.

Thanks

33F 30R from memory is the recommended pressures for 172 Cup (same size tyres).

On track I used to just go out for a short session initially to warm them up. Then release air to drop them back to near 33/30 hot. Do a full session and repeat until they stablised. I'm no track God but seemed to work OK and I never destroyed my tyres. Depending how hard you drive you will feel the grip drop off as they start to over heat.
