STX Tire pressures?
Hi Y'all...
This is another of my attempts to flush out some STX folks from the NAM family!
I've been running the Dunlop Z1 StarSpec this year on my little bitty 15" racing wheels, and so far I am very impressed.
One of the surprises (aside from the wet grip - see https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...7&postcount=28) is the pressures that the tires seem to like.
I'm running 40f and 48r, even in the wet. In another test & tune I might even go a touch higher.
That is one heck of a lot more air than the Azenis or the Kook RS2s wanted, and so it's taken some courage and experimentation to get there.
Still, the skidpad, accelerometers, and stopwatch data supports this...
Mind you this is -2.5 front, -1.0 rear, and nowhere near stock...
We're up to a max g in the 1.12 range at 100 deg tread temp on asphalt which beats everything I've run on that surface except the Hoosiers...
Anyone else out there running the Dunlops?
Cheers,
Charlie
