Pilot SuperSport PSI?

What's the recommended PSI for 225/255 SuperSport setup? Looking for a balanced setup:

In order of importance:
1.. Good traction off the line and on the 1-2 shift
2. Good steering response
3. Good lateral grip
4. Able to go 100+ mph

For general daily street driving, with some aggressiveness on back roads.

Obviously experimentation is the right approach, but what's the ballpark?

Don't go overboard on tire pressures!

36-38 is a good range. Any higher and you will be just be ripping through your tread faster.

higher pressure do have a slight advantage over 100, but not enough to warrant them for every day driving.
