tire pressure?

I have an 85.5 na, Koni's x 4, 968 30/19 sways, 16" 7 & 8 PD, Potenza RE 11's, I noticed on my 1st AX 2 weeks avon that I had more wear on the front side walls then the rears, should I bump the pressure up a bit?
didn't notice till I got home so pressure was not taken at the runs

Maybe pressure, maybe alignment issues. I check/adjust hot pressure after every session.

See if you can borrow a tire pyrometer. It will tell you a lot. (This has become my standard answer!)

I run RE11s on track and I seem to be fastest using the stock cold pressures (29/36). They like negative camber, so dial in all you can get if you haven't. I suspect 2.0/2.5 would be best, 1.2/1.8 is as good as I can get on my car. With sufficient street use, tire wear ends up reasonably even.
