Tire Pressure for Street
I'm currently running the Michelin Pilot Road 3 and did a little outing on one of my favorite roads. The road is really tight, with descending hairpins, slow sweeping turns etc. I guess this is the Austin version of Muholland Drive. Basically a lot of braking and accelerating point but nothings even close to triple digits.
I decided to run 38 F- 36 R and after 25 minutes of fun decided to stop to digest were I made mistakes etc. I felt the tires and couldn't recall having them get that hot. Granted it was a 90 degrees day but...
At no time did I feel the tire breaking loose but my lean angle was conservative and I was focusing more on proper corner entry rather than fast exit.
So my question is, what is acceptable hot tire pressure for street tires? How many PSI should the tire get when hot?

I'm running 34/34 on the smaller machines on the road. Dunlop recommends 32/32 for the Qualifier for track days and slightly higher for aggressive road or canyon riding. This is for liters and 600s however, the 14 is heavier and needs a little more pressure front and rear.
