Air pressure question

I'm gonna be at SP on the 22 and would like to know the recommended tire pressure for Pilot Powers on the track. Also since the tires will be new, how long before they are scrubbed in?

While I'm asking questions, who else plans to be there?

Re: Air pressure question

first few corners they're scrubbed in.

whether or not they're up to operating temp is another story. gradually increase lean and speed.

pilot race?

this should be in trackdays forum.

Re: Air pressure question

Ask your tire guys trackside... tell them what you ride and the tires and they should know better than anyone.

Re: Air pressure question

pilot powers - they basically are scrubbed and warmed up in a lap.

warmed up on a warm day after just a few corners - but they aren't race tires.

i run 30/30 till i switched to race.
