My son and I are going to a track cross tomorrow at Summit Point. My son's BMW is not ready so I plan on driving my 914 and letting him drive my Acura. Please give me recommendations on tire pressures for the 914. I have never had it on a track. It has a stock suspension without sway bars, 205-55-15 tires (300 treadwear rating) on 4 lug Fuchs. It will only be 50 degrees.

A simple approach to begin with is to make sure you’re using the entire tread. Tires have several markers on the edge (usually little triangles). The wear area from your session should touch the point of the triangle. Mark a line with chalk across the corner of the tire edge to more easily see the wear area from the most recent session. If the chalk is worn off at the tip of the arrow, you’re close to the right pressures.
