conti sport attack tire pressure

[onebads1000rr]

Hey guys,
i feel stupid for asking , but seriously puzzled with what i have read on the net inregards to my question below.

This is the first time in many years, maybe 10 or 12 im going to run OEM tires at track day event. I usally spend to much money on race tires and feel since this is my first ride of the season im going to use up the OEM tires which are Continental SPort attack tires then go from there.

THe manual says 36/42 for street riding..? seems hi but ok
I need to know what other riders have used at the track for a good base line cold temp or hot...

I used to ride with 30/30 with street tires 10 years ago and always had good results...tires have changed allot and i will have access to tire warmers for this event...any input from other track day riders inregards to this tire choice and condition will be great below is my info:

Bike s1000rr
tires COnti Sport attack
conditions: low 60* sunny
using tire warmers
weight 170 no gear
advance group

i also emailed COnti in germany to see what they recomend if anything...

I have experience with the SAs at track days, but not on the S1000RR. Mine is that the tires, particularly the rears, are quite sensitive to tire pressures, and that those tend to be higher than others. Specifically, if you get a sensation that the tires are turning in at different rates - like the front of the bike is dragging the rear into the corner - you probably need more rear pressure. If you get them right, they work really well, but they don't like to be set too low.

I ran them at 32F/36R *hot* pressures - if I recall correctly that translated back to 29/32 cold, but that will depend on bike, rider, track, and weather.
