Tire pressure for high speed driving

[Brickell gt500]

I know another tire pressure question. This one is a little different from the others. I wanted to see what pressure to run on the stock SVTPP tires if you plan to go near to the top end?

Below are a couple schools of thought on the subject. I have attended a EVOC course and the instructor for the course advised us to utilize the max tire pressure on the sidewall. This advice was also geared to our personal vehicles as well. The first link also agrees with that idea. The other link advises a slight PSI increase for high speed driving. I just wanted to see what the majority thinks.

Exactly what is shown on your tire. This will insure you are in the sweet spot with your tread and your sidewall. Anything more or less
could affect your braking.

I was a tactical driving instructor for the police academy. Our instruction was the same as the EVOC instructor who taught you. Max sidewall pressure is what we used. I believe you will be fine with that. If your planning a run like the Silver State Classic Challenge, I would contact your tire's manufacture for their recommendation.

BCPD,

Thanks for confirming that. I was looking for just a straight answer. Much appreciated.
