I've had a bad experience with Michelin PSS's chunking at AX as well; some of you may have seen the thread. Underinflation definitely wasn't the issue, as I generally ran 38-40 (hot) because I was attempting to compensate for the soft sidewall. I recently purchased a set of Dunlop ZII's, which should be a much more appropriate tire, based on my experience with the old Star Specs.

My question now is what tire pressures should I be running on the new Dunlops? I've found a few references to a Grassroots Motorsports article claiming that 38 PSI was the "sweet spot" for ZII's at AX, but hearing about people running in the low 30's, and even 20's, has me questioning this. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the actual article - I went as far as ordering a back issue of the magazine, but it ended up being the wrong one.
