These were my cold settings. I foudn that for the
concrete we ran on it worked better for a little
higher pressure. If I ran 30 F 32 R, I would wear the
outside edge too fast and cord them before even 1/2
wear in the middle. 

I guess I was a little vague in my response. Here are
all pressures I used for Kumho V700 R tires:

Autocross:
Concrete 34 F 38 R
Asphalt 31 F 32 R

Cold Pressure checked whan I first get the car
unloaded and then ususally checked after 2-3 runs.

My car weighed in at 2010 lbs and I was running 15x6.5
wheels with 205/50/15 tires. Also I do not run a front
sway bar but then I had the stock springs front and
rear. The whole suspension has been changed this
winter so new settings to be found at our first event
March 19.
