Okay, I will (hopefully) be running Pirelli Corsa 3's at the next track day. 

Anyone have some experience with these and what pressure to run?  I've been seeing 32F, 29R HOT on some of the other boards.  I don't run warmers, so what's a good COLD pressure to start with??

Wow, those pressures seem a little low for Pirelli.
I've been running the same set of Corsa 3's for the past year (maybe 5 track days), and some street riding.
I think the Corsa 3's are the best tires in the world!
I've been running 31F, 29R COLD

Although, I must admit, when we did Mid-Ohio last year (end of Aug, I think), it was a real hot day, and by 3pm, my rear tire started losing traction.  Other than that - I've never had any problems with the Corsa 3's, and have never ridden better, and never felt more confident in my tires.

Thanks Tom, those pressures did seem low to me too... maybe I was confusing it with cold pressure.  I did find another site that mentioned 32F, 34R hot.

Anyway, I'll try out 31F, 29R cold and see where they go when hot... and how nicely they wear.

Would be great if we could update that list with all the current tires. I hope nobody is still using a Bridgestone BT-001  2funny

I think that the Michelin Pilot Power would have the same specs as some of the other Michelin tires in the post. Thanks for posting this wide range of information. Very helpful and will serve as a guide. I wonder if nyc moving companies use this as they search for tires. Have you thought about publishing the stats in some sort of Kindle book format that would be handy.

If anyone has info or experience with newer models, I'll gladly add them or update the list.  Not sure how a "kindle" format would work but you can certainly copy/paste the info into your own document.   BTW, I update the Info -> Tire Pressure Guide, not the original post.
