Default What is the right tire pressure for Toyo T1-S on TTRQ225?

Sorry to those of you who may have already answered me from the other forums, but I must ask this question again (out of allegiance to this forum if nothing else).

I just installed a new set of 4 based on all the rave recommendations I have read in the forums. Problem is, inflating them to Audi's factory specs (36F/30R...36F/33R) did not impress me in the least. Front was light and yet slow to convince of direction and rear was a sloppy drunk. I have since increased the rears to about 35 and lowered the front a touch to 35 and am much more comfortable with it. Still, they aren't as good as my previous budget tires (Ventus Plus) - and I am hoping it is just due to the tire pressures.

So if any of you have tried these tires and have them at the point where you love their performance, please send me your cold temp pressures.

I have stock 17" forged rims and stock suspension (2000my) and 225/45's.

Thanks.

Default best method is to rub chalk on the tread if you use the car for street and pyrometer for track

chalk should remain at the ''hook' of the tire near the sidewall on most tires ...every tire/driverstyle/car will slightly different optimal settings....I run 40/38 cold on 19s...roughly equivalent to 35/33 on17s
