Starting tire pressue on BT002RS for track
- Thread starter Mr Bogus
- Start date
I would ask the local track junkies what tgey are running. Are you running tire warmers if so you could run a higher psi because it will not take as long to get to the tires to temp
Yea probably a good idea.. no warmers here thx
31 front and 30 rear...cold...35-36psi front and rear HOT...measured right as you come off the track
+1 Exactly the #'s that Lamb started and ended with just this past weekend.36 is a good psi for the warm temp because the tire will last for multiple heat cycles and the contact patch stays fairly similar from start to finish. Using less PSI for the cold temp. increases warm-up time and sees more temp. difference between hot and cold. The contact path also changes, changing some characteristics of rebound and compression and the like. Looking for temps of 36 HOT when the day starts and later in the day try to find 33 or 34 HOT. It's something to tinker with and you can see how minor PSI changes affect handling.
I run 29 rear and 31 front, but that's with Pilot Powers.
Who's putting on the track day, if it's STT ask the tire changing guys.
But definately ask local track guys...
Do you want me to bring my tire warmers to the Bash for you to use? I am not going to hit the track anytime soon, they are just sitting there... Chicken Hawk Tire Warmers

This is through NESBA (Kevin got me hooked up with them)
Tire warmers? you think I need them? I am just running the B group.. maybe a bit of overkill for my first day out?

Do not use tire warmers w/ street tires, gets them too hot. They are designed for race tires only.

Good tire warmers have 3 heat settings
Even on the low setting it will heat cycle the tires for street tires if you can get a good set of slicks that is the best way to go
The RS is a 'track tire' that works well on the street too...you can use
tire warmer on any tire...just don't over due it

Street tires are designed to handle MORE heat cycles than race tires

Yes they are but when you use Tire warmers on street tires you shorten the life of the tire
Will be at Putnam.. supposed to be a relatively fast track from what I was told. Sounds to me the tire warmers if not used as easy bake ovens would work (like why warm tires 2 hours ahead? ) suppose I could take them and try both ways? I will be there 2 days and hope one set if tires gets me through the weekend..
