Track Day Tire Pressures

[Hailw00d]

I'll be tracking my new to me, FL5 for the first time in 10 days. I'm going to run it mostly stock (only braking upgrades Project Mu CR pads and I'll likely change to SRF Fluids - currently on RBF 600). The 4S aren't the best tires, but that's okay; for the people that have run that tire before, did you all run at 35 hot?

I haven't tracked with a FWD car before, I think it will probably take some getting used to.

35 hot is a solid starting point for almost any tire for lapping sessions - you can keep an eye on the outside shoulder of the fronts to get an idea how much it's being scrubbed and go up or down based on that. 28~30 cold like Josh mentioned should get you around that range.

Other than that, after you get more comfortable with the car you can start playing around with pressures to adjust the balance of the car.
