Default What pressure do you run in F1 GS-D3 tires?

I love my F1s, but my car seems looser at high speeds (>110) than my old PP S-03s. I think it could be my tires and read some on the post had to experiment with tire pressure on their F1s before getting it right. Car seems to float now at high speeds as opposed to feeling glued with the S-03s. Thought it could be the tire "egging" or something related to the pressure. Hope it's not just the F1 nature vs. S-03s.

street or track? I run 38 psi street (225/40-18). Haven't tracked these tires yet.

Default maybe harder compound feels different at 110...

lots of reasons why car may feel loose at that speed. I have tried 36 up front and 38 in the back and recently went to 38 (cold) all around. Haven't spent too much time testing at 110 though...

I do have about 10K miles on this set (stock size) and I have been very happy with the F1's, especially the wear...I have rotated them once and had the alignment done just before I put them on.

Default 38 cold. Gotta protect the rims on boston streets.

it is harsher than my 17"s were.

I doubt I'd raise it much on the track, though.I'd say 36-37 would be safe with these on the street, I'm just playing it safe.
