Anybody got any advice on the above subject, please. I am tracking my pre-cat 400 at Bedford soon. I do not intend to go mad (my last TD ended catastrophically!) but would like to make the most of it. I have Toyo T-1R's all round btw
Thanks in advance
Nigel

If it's very warm, lower the pressure.

If the tyres get hot, lower the pressures.

If it's cold and you cant push on to get the tyres hot, leave them at 22/24.

I would when lowering them drop them 2lbs all round and test.

Just did a full track day at Pembrey. Checked them cold before setting off first thing & they were 22/24. At the height of the action they had gone up to 28/29 with the heat, which felt nice & solid on track. Didn't experiment with the pressures but will once I have some decent coilovers on there. thumbup
