Rival pressures on stock wheels?

Howdy,

Hey, what're you all running for tire pressures on BFG Rivals on stock 18x8 wheels?

I've been using 36 front / 32 rear, but I haven't really done testing to determine how optimum that is.

Curious what others are doing.

I don't have BFG Rivals, but I will chime in with some additinal information that you might want to add to help others out.

Any modifications done to the car (specifically suspension)?
What tire size? Stock 225/45R18?
What racing are you doing: Autocross, Track Days....etc?
Alignment settings?
Driving style? (desire neutral, oversteer, or understeer?)

Once you answer these questions, you might get a better response. Or at least take these questions into consideration when someone chimes in with tire pressures that work for them.

Howdy,

Oh, sorry. Yeah, details might matter. :-)

This is for RTR / 'CS on street tires' autox. So stock springs/ride height, 245/40-18, -1.5-ish front with a little toe out, -1.5-ish rear, zero toe. Koni DA's.

Surfaces vary from lower grip asphalt to high grip concrete.

The issue is stock camber setting, not stock wheel size
