i found good grip in them at 35F and 37R (hot) 225/255. With my car and set up this gave me even temp across the tread.

Cheers

Thanks Jeff.

Wayne, they're on the '84 Carrera, which weighs about 2550 without me in it but with a full tank of gas. 225 Fronts/255 Rears.

It all depended on ambient temp.

I have started any where from 27/30 to 32/34. Once in the 35/37 range they seemed to stay there. The temp was taken after a cool down lap and I got out and measured them as quickly as i could, same goes for the temp readings. I was seeing around 175-180 across the entire width of the tire.

Mind you my car weighs 2250lbs.

Cheers
