I follow youngster's dry erase board post.   31-22

Thanks everyone.  I couldn't find anything on the tire its self, and then I fell asleep.   When I said slow I mean mentally too.  Thanks again

Where did you see this Paul?  The Pirellis aren't correct.

this was the BIG tire truck, think it was michelin or dunlop guys at the last PTT day @ T-hill last week. there board worked well for me, I was using 24 psi in the rear of my power race and I was sliding, saw the board and took a pic (for future reference) and I was ALL GRIP! It must be "somewhat close to" what you were using, right? give or take a pound.... you are so skilled with lots of experience you know exactly what works for you now at each track in every temp. this is just a baseline for us SQUIDS  ;D

I only know pirellis so I'm not sure about the other brands.  It's close for most tracks but way off for Thunderhill.  Those pressures on a pirelli would destroy the tire in two to three sessions for me.

I'm surprised to see that the Michelin's are so High. I thought the newer ones used real low psi's like 22 and 24.

I too was told by Dave Moss to run my Pirelli's at around 34 PSI's  But Thunder hill eats my pirelli's medium compound.

So I just put some 2CT Pures on my bike....don't see a pressure for them. Unless I hear otherwise, I set mine to 30F/26R (i'm fat LOL)
