Just wondering if anyone had a "rule of thumb" way to tell if their tires were too hard or soft by looking at the tires after you come off the track?
For instance ... on a hard track if your too soft the rubber will be scuffed up - as if you went across the rubber "against the grain". It seems as though once you go to a track that takes a tire below 50, if your too soft, you don't get that same scuffed surface.
Is there anything you can tell if you have powder on the tires that easily brushes right off?
Or is there something else that can give u a clue ...?
I know there is no simple formula of ... if you see this, then do this, and you'll be right-on.
I think I'm doing a decent job of prepping tires during the week, but growing tired of ALWAYS choosing the wrong set and being off by probably 10 pts ...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
