What do you guys use for pressure during a track day? Very important to answer with what kind of tyre you are using. Large differentiations between a R-tyre and a Continental sport5. On track I use R888R with 2,1 bar (heated)

My car has 'Track' pressures on the door shut label. 32 front and rear, not sure what the #R hatch has. This will likely for if you have spec'd the Michelin Sport Cup 2 tyres.

@paddy6789 what does your #R label have on it for track?

Cupra R
Carbon Edition - What I have.
Cupra R ST

The Sub8 track pack cars (ones where they specified the Michelin Sport Cup 2 tyres) probably had them too.

Thats cool.
What is the difference between the cup sport 2 and the pilot sport 4 S?

I believe unlike the PS4 the PS4S, like it’s predecessor the PSS, uses the same ‘Motorsport’ derived constriction To the tyre as the Pilot Cup Sport 2. However The Cip Sport 2 comes with a more aggressive dry biased tread pattern and compound.
