Who with experience can point me in the right direction? First event of the year is next week Sunday. I read pressures should be higher, but how high?

The course is at the Oakland Coliseum and the pavement is discribed as:

"Large, smooth, asphalt site. Very slippery, easy on tires."

Thanks for your input,

James

 

The best way to figure out correct tire pressure would be with a pyrometer and/or with some shoe polish, but it takes some trial and error.

 

I tried all kinds of pressures in them. nothing worked. Try 42 front and rear. Seemed the best for me. I tried 36-50 in the back, and 36-50 in the front. 50 in the front and you can spin from one corner to the next, not fast but it looks cool as hell.

 

i'm curious too, at my first event in this car last weekend I ran with about 45 up front and 38 rear...


Didn't really like it, no rolling of the tire but I felt like the car was plowing more than it should (except of course when i came into the slalom wicked fast and let off halfway 'round the first cone... woops)

I'm gonna try 45-46 front and 42-44 rear and see if it helps.. if not, it'll be easy enough to go down to 42 each and see how that works.
