i've collected some information from the Smartire and now i'd like to know what to do with it (PSI/F)

LF P/T RF P/T LR P/T RR P/T

Laguna Seca April 20/21
cold 34/51 34/51 36/51 36/51
end session 70F? 42/138 42/140 44/143 44/136

Thunderhill July 7
cold 35/60 35/60 36/60 36/60
end session 96F 43/176 42/179 44/176 43/172

Sears Point July 9
cold 35/60 35/60 36/60 36/60
end session 100F 41/159 41/154 44/170 44/170

Laguna Seca and Thunderhill are counterclockwise and Sears Point (okay, Infineon) is clockwise -- turn 2 at Thunderhill is a loong sweeper that puts a lot of stress on the right front, Sears Point is slower with tighter corners and more throttle steer -- Laguna and Thunderhill are tough on brakes, Sears Point pretty easy

Car -- Dinan III, 275/285 Pilot Sports on Dinan 9/9.5 wheels, 3.45 diff, StopTech brakes (Pagid Oranges Laguna, Blacks Thunderhill and Sears Point -- see Apples Garnet Paper post re my bedding problems)
