Biggest improvement to be made to this crate.... a driver change. LOL



Seriously -- the R6's will be such a major improvement it will be a "come to jesus" moment when you get them heat cycled and ready to rock.

With the sizes you're running... the car should be on rails. Right up until you become over confident. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Not looking forward to breaking these tires in. According to Hoosier you need to run 3-5 more lbs of air, run approx. 7-8 laps trying to get the most heat in them on the last couple laps then let them cool.
I figure I'll start out at 34 lbs cold which should take me to 40 lbs hot. Then when I bring the car in I'll put all four up on jack stands and let cool.
Should be interesting.

Guess you can say that quote doesn't apply to every situation.

I have no idea what you should be running -- hot or cold!


I know I'm running a far smaller tire (245) and we're running 29.5 rear and 31.5 front.... on the Mustang

Tire rack will heat cycle them for you. It's not expensive and you know they were brought to the correct temp for the correct amount of time.

Damn -- This IS "BUDGET TRACK CAR" thread.... you think he's going to pay $60 for 4 heat cycled tires???



Sutton told me that even though I do that -- I still have to bring them up to temp slowly... so of course I went straight out onto the track and ran like my second fastest lap. When I came back in - I got scolded a little... LOL
