Can anyone recommend trackday hot tyre pressures for an e36 m3. I'm on 17" BBS motorsports with Toyo R888s.

On my other car with Toyo R888s I have to run 36-37 hot front-rear, with Michellin Pilot Sport Cups its 32 all round (hot), and on road tyres its 32/39 front to rear cold... So would appreciate some insight for the M3!

Hows the machine going Dan?!

For reference, I used to run my D01J's on the GT at 31 - 33 psi ....I say between as it seemed that track temperature would make a big difference. The 888's are similar to the Dunlop, so you shoudn't be far wrong.

I'd go out on about 27psi cold first of all.

Thanks will try those pressures.

Car is currently having some work done, so not driven it for more than 20 mins yet!
