Tire pressure 255x40x17

Hello Guys.

My SC is now wearing fakes.

Yes I've bought a second hand set of 964 Carrera Cup replicas and the tires are 255x40x17 and 215x40x17. They are heavy as hell but make the car look nice. Do you have any suggestions on where to start with tire pressures? I tended to run with higher than normal with the old 16" Fuchs.

Street or track?

I've got the 993 Cup wheels on mine. 7.5x17 and 9x17. On the street, I usually go 32/34 psi with Toyo Proxes T1-R.

993 Cup wheels must look nice.

Just street, but I do some fairly fast driving along some big sweeping roads in the country. I've still got the 16" Fuchs to use on the track as I can imagine a loss of power with the lil' ole SC having to turn these heavier wheels (rotating mass) not to mention unsprung weight.
