    Hi guys,
    in preperation of this weeks season opener I've started setting up my Corolla and came up with the question: what is tire-pressure we should aim for?
    Any help from you guys is welcomed.
    Kind regards and thx in advance

    with new update track temp do affect tyre temp.
    For shorter sprint racing tyre wear don't matter as much hence lowest tyre pressure.
    but you might wanna test out on motec on how pressure affects wear ,temperatures and grip etc.

    One thing though i think unlike ACC the tyre pressure is works in opposite way.

    lets take an example,
    on barcelona which wear down left tyres much more than right.

    what you would do in ACC is you increase the inside tyre's pressure (right side on barcelona)
    on rf2 it is the opposite i believe
    you would decrease the inside pressure to lowest and play with slightly higher pressure on outside tyre to lower the wear and temp.

    DO NOTE >
    above info could be wrong as i haven't done proper testing, i'm just talking from old reading and memory.
