Tyre Pressures for track.

Post by Phil_Norwich » Tue Aug 10, 2010 2:50 pm

Hey all, got my first trackday tomorrow :grin: :grin:

Just wondering what sort of tyre pressures you run on track? I'm running on 33psi front and rear atm.

Running on BT090 if that makes a difference.

Phil.

I ran 20's in mine and it worked well. Speak to a tyre fitter and see what they say. The way your tyre wears will tell if it's too hard or soft or if your suspension needs adjusted.

I ran 30/30 in my BT090 and they were great. That was cold temps.

Try that for starting point..

I did think about 30, I'll give it a go and see how I get on.

30s are good to go for 090s though... less than that for supercorsas IMO
