I'm running 4.5in and deep 6 Fuchs on my Oval with 135s upfront and 185s out back. Any thoughts on what tyre pressures might get me round the corners a bit better than I am doing?

stock, tire size has nothing to do with pressure.

front is 18, rear is 28.

too high a pressure and when you brake you are more likely to skid, especially if running skinny tires and discs.

That's pretty much what I run - sometimes 24psi in the back.
