Anyone care to hazard a guess for good cold pressures for 245-45-17 V710s on a bone-stock 97 M3? 17x7.5 front, 17x8.5 rear. Extremely camber-challenged car.

38F 42R?

38/42 sounds way to high for a 710.

I'm running my 710's at or below street pressure up front (the load wheels). With 33 psi being my target up front.

For comparison, I'd run Azenis and Victoracers up around 40 psi.

I heard that if you lean really hard into the turns, that will help the camber problem. Knowing you, it will probably work :P

Most ALL OF THE 710's,are run between 31 and 36lbs Hot .I've only met 1 person running higher and he was on an X-runner Toyo P-up in HS,running 38lbs.

Rudy at Kumho said to keep them below 40psi. Mine had great grip at ~35-37 hot.

Oh man, Whitney+M3+V710=FTD....
