These are R6 tires. I need a starting point for cold and especially HOT pressures. I have a pyrometer, but would like a ballpark number. Thanks
As a Hoosier dealer (Precision Motorsports Racing) here is what we have learned through championship winning years (through the compound changes – now 6) and installing hundreds and hundreds of them on our DE customer's cars...
If you…
are a novice to intermediate driver run the pressures on the low end.
are an experienced driver run the pressures on the high end.
want a feeling of confidence early in a session run the pressures on the low end.
want to go fast and have relatively no fall-off during a session run the pressures on the high end.
