What pressure ranges would you recommend at the track vs. on curvy mountain roads.
I have only gone as low as 33 front and 33 rear at the track.
We recommend 32f/32r cold. 34f/34r hot.
IF you wanted to get a little bit more grip you could go down 2 psi in the rear. but the trade off is stability and tire life.
Our factory test riders have put down all their fast laps and control laps using 34f/32r. varying more the 2 psi from this is diminishing returns and is more a mental thing than an actual performance issue.
I am sure I am going to get those that disagree with me, but I am basing this on the best lap times put down by our control test riders and the feedback they give when adjusting PSI. All I can quote you is the facts. Going lower than 32 on the front is not recommended because the stability and steering drops off. Lower than 32 on the rear and the stability and tire life drops.
Some may be happy with lower PSI, but as they increase in lap times, stability becomes very important. As the rider progresses he will likely move to higher pressures or to a race tire.
