Suspension running at Limerock , CT
running at Limerock , CT
Im running at Limerock next saturday and i was wondering if anyone has any advise on tire pressure for that track, i have 17" Flik FTD rims with Hankook ventus autocross tires. Ive never raced at Limerock so any other tweaks or tunes for that track would be helpful.

Really, this so depends on ambient temps of the air and track. First thing I would do is find a Hankook website that has pressure recommendations for your particular tire. mbcoops recommendation of up to temp pressure of about 40 is a good place to start if you can't find other info. But this late in the year you may have to start out with more like 35 to get there. I've run as high as 48 with my RA1s.
The colder it is out then the softer you want to run your suspension. Might even want to try and disconnect your front sway bar and go max soft with the rear. It's a very bumpy track so don't stiffen up your springs too much or you will have trouble entering Big Bend.
As I say your tire pressure depends on SO many factors. Have fun!

FWIW, we've found that 32 psi works really, really well in the RS-2's on the track. When cooler (50 and less degrees), we run 30 psi! This is in the 225/45R16 size, but all should be similar. Of course, it's best to check hot pressures when you come back in and make adjustments accordingly. BUT, again, 30-32 psi seems to work really well.
You really don't need a lot of pressure in them - more makes less grip.
