…allow tires to be more efficient at radiating heat and the tires will run cooler, building up less hot tire pressure. In this case, the 3-5 psi higher recommended inflation pressure increase helps offset the reduced hot tire pressures resulting from less heat buildup. And finally, all tire pressures…
…then monitored the ambient temperatures, tire temperatures and tire pressures through the day. As the day's temperatures went from 67 to 85 Fahrenheit, the tire that was kept in the shade went from our starting pressure of 35 psi to a high of 36.5 psi. The tire that was placed in the sun and subject…
…the tire. If your tires are rolling over past the tread pattern, increase negative camber, increase inflation pressure and reduce slip angle while driving to keep the work concentrated in the tread area. Check Your Hot Tire Pressures As soon as you come off the track check your hot tire pressures…
…the Proxes R888: * Operating Temperature: 160ºF to 220ºF * Hot Inflation Pressures: 32 to 38 (psi) * Camber: -2.5º to -5.0º * Caster: As much positive as possible When racing on DOT-approved tires air pressure is a major consideration in tuning the handling of a car, especially…
…inflation pressures correspond with the tire's maximum inflation pressure, it will often appear that too much tire pressure is present. However, this extra "hot" tire pressure is temporary and should NOT be bled off to return the tire pressure to within the maximum inflation pressure value branded…
…Do Not Release Hot Tire Pressure if any of these variables could be the cause of measured tire pressure exceeding the maximum psi branded on the tire's sidewall by the 2, 4 or 6 psi indicated above for the various conditions. This temporary pressure increase is expected and designed into the tire's…

For racing or track events, your rain tires' starting inflation pressure should be higher than your dry tires. Tires are part of your suspension. Using lower profile tires…
…if trailer tires are underinflated or overloaded. Since all tires lose inflation pressure over time or due to dropping ambient temperatures, it's important to check trailer tire inflation pressures before each trip. It is best to set inflation pressures in the morning before tires are driven on…
