Michelin Cup Tire Track Pressure
I am running 345/30/18 & 295/30/18 Cup tires for HPDEs.
What is a good cold pressure to start with that others have had good luck with. I have been starting out at 30 psig.

I just started running MPSCs on my C6Z and I found that starting at 28 front and 27 rear was pretty good.
They love negative camber. You'll save a lot of time finding the best setup if you buy a good probe pyrometer.

You want to get to 36 psi max HOT. They get very greasy over that.

I've only driven about 500 street miles and 2 light track days on them so far. The wear so far is even and minimal. -1.6 rear will probaby work for dual use if you drive agressively on the street; but, -2.5 is likely too much on the front for sane street use.

I was told and have been shooting for 35-36 hot. Usually I start the day around 29 psi and depending on track temp, track, how frequent the sessions are, end up bleeding a couple PSI off the fronts.
I've been running -1.5 front and rear this year and am seeing some really uneven wear on the outsides (I only use these tires for track days). I've dialed the fronts up to -2.5 for NJMP next week to try and fix that.

Do you have rubbing or active handling issues with the 345/295 combo you are running with the MSCs?
I am running stock C6Z sizes with Hoosier R6s and I am not entirely happy with them. How do people like the MSCs?
Thanks in advance.
