Default PSI on the PS2 during track sessions?

I have a question for all of you track guys. I am running my stock PS2's on the track right now. Hoping to buy some track tires soon, but for the time being, these are my track tires. I know after a session, the PSI's go up from the stock 35 to over 45 PSI. Should I be dropping that to say 40 PSI right after I get off the track session. And then maybe also check again after the next few sessions? If it goes above 40, keep bring it back to 40? Or is the tire going to cool down enough between sessions? I have some really bad tire wear on my left front tire which could be becase I dropped the pressure too low after a hot session?

Any thoughts?

no time to really respond, but search the net on "chalking tires"

essentially, the only way to tell is to chalk the tires shoulders and see how much is being scrubbed off... if it is too far up the sidewall, add pressure...

here is one area where nitrogen filled tires would be a benefit...
