I've read and read as much as I can but feel that most material is mainly aimed towards slicks so I'm hoping to ask a couple simple questions with these treads.
1/5 mile track, hard and dry and a no prep tire class. Literally come off the track and can't even wash them.
1. Is there a general "rule" or thought of when the day goes on into night and the track cools down, do tires generally go down in pressure to compensate? So far I'm running the same tire pressures at 5 in the afternoon as I am at 10 at night because I don't know any better.
2. Is there a certain "threshold" of where to much or to less of pressure and the tire will basically be worthless?
Example...I know most slicks run in the 3-5 lbs...but I'm assuming the treads would be worthless at those pressures? Same when going up in pressures? I'm running roughly 8-10 split and want to see if changing things up will help but don't need to completely try and race ridiculous pressures.
Hope to get some insight as every week is a new experiment I have to try but don't want to be wasting a test when it's common insight that I'm way outside the boundaries to begin with.
Thanks!!
