15" A032R tire pressures
 

First DE event coming up this weekend. It will be my first time with 15" A032R tires.
Anyone care to share their pressures for these tires?

I'll quote the fast guy on the board:

What about Hoosiers?

I have found Hoosiers like 41 lbs hot. Start at 35, get them hot, pull in pit & bleed down to 41. If you start at 35, and can't get to 41, drive harder.

Hoosiers are slightly dependant on car weight. For a lightweight car I would actually end up at 38-39 hot (front and rear). Keep in mind that if they hit 43-44 traction will dissapear at an exponential rate for every pound thereafter.

I run Yoko 032s and concur with Jack's recommendation.

Thanks for the replies! Hopefully the A032s will be in tomorrow. I also have a set of hoosiers that came with the wheels so now I set for those tires as well.:)

On the Track I run 32PSI cold on the back tires and 28PSI cold on the front.

After the first run I check how much of the tread show wear and adjust it up or down.

A lot depends on track temperature and track type.

THe low tech mthod is the chalk test.

Draw a line of chalk across the tire to the sidewalls. If it'd worn more at the edges, increase pressure 2 psi, if worn more at the center, decrease 2 psi. Make pressure changes 2 psi at a time (according the old p-car guy that got me started).

...or go the hi-tech method and buy a tire temp guage...
