and seriously do this on your next event. whatever you set the front tire pressure to, make sure the rear is ATLEAST 10 psi MORE. so 40/50 45/55 etc. don't worry about the max pressure readings. they are written so max COLD pressure is 51 so hot can go up quite a bit. and even then there is a huge factor of safety built in. so you could run 60psi and not pop the tire at an autoX. just don't drive on the highway like that.

i'm speaking about these tires pressures from experience. you NEED crazy pressure like that for the shitty ass re92s.
