Burris treaded tire pressure

[Joe61]

New to treaded tires, what tire pressure should I start with? Burris 22 treaded for a stock predator class weighing about 360-380, small bull rings

8-10 psi is a good starting point with the treads. You can adjust up or down from there as conditions dictate

Is that on both sides. Would you run 10 on the right and 10 on the left? Thanks

No not normally you would use same only if you needed to tighten up the set up.

Run as high of air pressure as you can get away with.
Higher pressure = better roll speed at the expense of side bite.
Since treaded tires (uncut) have excess bite already, the higher air pressure can be very helpful at freeing the kart up.
Smaller track = lower psi. Bigger tracks = higher psi.
More PSI split = less sidebite. Less PSI split = more sidebite.

Would you run lower air pressures the first heat when the track doesn't have as much grip and gradually increase pressure as the track has more grip?

Yes.
