*The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

Sirs this is a Wendy's.

On my Continental Extreme Contact Force, I ended up at 33 hot all around if I remember correctly. But I don't have the skills to know if this is ideal or not. Did not show signs of rolling over in the front, but could have been over-inflated. I did not take temps across the tread.

I wanna get one of those tire pyrometer doo-dads

I have a question for you guys that store different sets of wheels/tires. What is good to use on the tires to mark FL/FR/RR/RL?

2 of my sets are directional but for my ps4s I just have sticky note taped to rim with blue painters tape. I could have just used painters tape with the FL FR notes on the tape directly.

I’ve heard of grease ball but not grease pencil. Where do I buy one?

I suggest a bright color. We use them at work to mark tires when we are balancing them to ensure that we put them back in the right place.

Thanks. I’m going with white since I’m only using them to mark tires for storage.

Really depends on the track. Some are harder on brakes than others, and it also matters in what configuration that you drive the car. VSA off? +R long press? All the nannies on?
