Yes, that is really too high on those tires. The front tire especially is going to need some heat in it to get it to stick. I also find it hard to believe that front and rear set the same cold will heat up to the same pressure. I think maybe someone's gauge may not be very accurate.
I'm an expert in my own mind. ex = used to be... but what's a pert?rabbit;129363 wrote: 30 hot would be about 27 cold as a start, right?
For the rear, yes
But for the front 29 cold = 30 hot
But both of those are dependent on the air and track temp and despite what one guy said, your pace.
That seems pretty low (but I don't claim to know anything). I run 29f/30r and I'm pretty happy with the grip and wear.
Never heard of more pressure in rear tire except on the street...
Meaning the wear is even - durability does not enter the equation. Could you loan me some money?
To be quite honest, from Stickboy, the SE race vendor for Bridgestone. He told me to run them 30/30 hot off the track and said that would be roughly 29/27 cold. All too often here in the SE we call ambient "cold" so, no, we're not talking about Boston cold ; ) Just touch the hood of a black car in a mall parking lot anywhere in Ga. this time of year! The forecast for Friday is 93 degrees. Heat index will add to that. Black tires on Black rims and Black asphalt = may as well be on warmers...
That may be the case once the day is rolling, typically I think cold pressure I think just woke up, sun is rising, morning of track day cold. There's no solar warmth over night. So depending on morning ambient I set front around 26-27, then the rest of the day only adjust hot off track pressures, could care less what they drop to during my resting periods.
