generally same as cold road temp...I usually have mine at 24/26 road (R888s in Exige sizes) go and do a few laps, come in and they are up at like 34 then drop them to 24/26 for the rest of the day

if you are really anal you could get a pyrometer and start measuring temps across the surface etc, but for the amateur track day goer, doing 15 min sessions the above seems to work well for me

26F and 28R when hot seems to be about right for me, any more at the front and you can get understeer

Agreed.
