Tire pressures for autox

sti robot · 03-20-2007, 05:11 PM

I'll be running some crummy A/S Falken 512's and was wondering what kind of pressures I should start with. I plan on chalking them, but would like a ballpark to start from.

Mods are in sig...but relevant ones are whiteline FSB at 29 and RSB w/kartboy links at 22.

I've had good luck w/ 35/31 cold. Remember, these cars like slow in, fast out...
Have fun!

Unlike other forum inquiries, this is one that has too many variables to give an answer to. Tire make/model/width/construction/compound, suspension/alignment setup, track surface/track surface temperature, and ambient temperatures all have to be considered.

Best advice is to start logging info every time you make a run.

^ I think I may have to do that.

I wish I could just get some real tires...but for now these'll work. The good thing about them is that they "talk" to you a lot.
