Start at 25psi and slowly lower it until you hit a sweet spot.

Buy a 1/2 psi. gage and it will really help you dial them in. They aren't too costly and you will be able to make both sides identical and hit the sweet spot. I think 18 psi comes to mind on some hoosiers. That might have been the mustang for the guy I borrowed them from. If that is the case then low 20s should hit the tire where it needs to be.
