Anybody tracked (HPDE) the Falken 660's on a Cayman or mid engine car with a similar weight ?
What hot tire pressure would you recommend?
Grassroots found 28 was the best on a Miata but the Cayman weighs a lot more.
Thanks for the help!

Oem-ish sizes and a mostly unmodified car? Low 30s hot should be a good starting point. Probably around 26-28psi cold.
Sizes 255/35 and 275/35. Car heavily modified: suspension (PSS10's, -3.5 /-3 camber, GT3 sway bars), 991 S engine with aggressive tune.
I haven't used those tires but have talked with folks who have. I would shoot for 33psi hot and then start taking temperatures.
In reply to jonboring :
Start with what is on the door sticker. P cars want lower front pressure and higher rear. Too many tire shops don't do this correctly.
For a "normal" stagger 2-3 psi extra in the rear is usually pretty good. With 255s front and only 275s on the rear it's probably more like 5psi. I'd say aim for 30/35 hot to start. That might be a bit on the high side but it's much easier to work down than up. That's assuming appropriately sized wheels, the narrower the wheels the higher the pressure they'll need.
FWIW: On my 987.2 I'm running -2.4F/-1.8R camber with 32.5 psi F/33 psi R with 245/275 Supercar 3s (non R). My temperatures have about 10 degrees of spread on each tire.
