Tire Pressure for Continental ExtremeContact DWS
 
I am heading to the track in a little while and need some advice. I have the above tires on a stock car, except for the Edelbrock S/C. Any advice on what tire pressure to use, considering camber is stock and today will be about 60 degrees F with some light rain.

Thanks!

I am going to randomly assume a tire size and rim width and say 33psi. Good luck!

Well, the weather was a little harsher than we thought and fishtails were the main course. It was fun though. I went with 36psi in the end.

Interestingly, a fellow 86-er in a 2017 had less problems with fishtailing than I did, even though I was feathering the throttle.

What was his starting psi?

It's literally impossible to make a useful recommendation without knowing your tire size.

Supercharged, on all-seasons, in the wet.........and wondering why you were having traction issues.

No, I expected traction issues...just no traction was a surprise :)
