Making the most of the Tyres
We find that a few small changes to setup and pressures can have a massive impact on tyre life and grip levels. The aim is to get a perfect amount of wear across the whole tyre, which ultimately means they will last longer. These tyres are much better in wet conditions than any other semi-slick tyre, even part worn these will take some beating.
Camber
Front Camber for track use can be up to 4.5 degrees negative, depending on track and conditions etc. General rule is that the more negative camber then more air pressure is required. The quickest and easiest way to ensure you have the right amount of camber is to check the temperature spread across the tyre. An even spread is perfect, but up to 10 degrees more on the inside usually ends up with the most even treadwear.
Pressure
Minimum cold start pressure is 1.4 BAR with a Maximum of 2.1-2.2 BAR when hot.
A General rule for wet conditions is to increase tyre pressures as this aids water clearance, because track speeds are lower the pressure will also never reach the dry 'Hot' pressure. Depending on conditions, pressures over the ‘dry’ optimum varies for different cars – front or rear wheel drive/ saloon or single seater etc, so it is best to test different pressure settings etc when possible to see what works for your setup. A good place to start will be +5psi.
Spring Rates
If you want to go further than the above changes, the next step would be to look at increased spring rates. The construction of the tyre is as such that you can run higher spring rates as grip levels are nearing full slicks. If the outside shoulder is wearing a 10n or so stiffer spring would be a good place to start.
