Oh man, oh well to be honest I don’t think the 93 would have done anything else, I was limited by the tire and towards the end tire temps
Also I was running 32 psi for the people asking, the pressures never crept above 43psi even at the highest temp I saw which was 190 degrees.
Maybe the old pirellis were not as good tires as the michelins but these new generation ones did not make any mistake never once did I wish I was on the michelins. |
I blew Canada corner in the last session because the tires were over temp and didn't bite when I tried to push it with traffic behind me. So even RE71Rs were going off on temp with the surface. Every tire is different but I was starting cold around 28 psi with my little 17" rims and targeting hot pressures around 36. No idea what's ideal for your setup but above 40 would seem high for most any tire setup, but I'm really guessing on your situation.
