Track Day Tire Pressure

…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…

…"hot" tire pressures that are up to 5 to 6 psi above the tire's recommended "cold" pressure during the day if the vehicle is parked in the sun or has been extensively driven. Therefore, if the vehicle's recommended "cold" inflation pressures correspond with the tire's maximum inflation pressure, it…

…Ways To Mount Track & Competition DOT Tires? Visible Tread Splices While visible and open tread splices are conditions rarely seen on street tires, they appear more frequently on racing tires, including the DOT-legal competition tires often used for road racing, track days and autocrossing.…

…temperatures later in the day often means that drivers are actually measuring tires that are not completely cold. In this case the 3-5 psi higher recommended inflation pressure increase helps offset the reduced tire pressures associated with the conditions in which the tire pressures are typically…

…* Toyo Proxes RR Most other Track & Competition DOT tires begin with 6/32" to 8/32" of molded tread depth and typically do not require shaving for autocross use, driver's schools, track days and competitive track use in dry conditions. Shaving these types of tires may offer a slight improvement…

…Tire Pressures? What happens to rubber balloons in the days after a party? The air pressure inside them escapes through the rubber and the balloons go flat. And while air also escapes through the rubber of tires for cars and trucks, today's more robust tubeless tire designs experience air pressure…

Therefore, if the vehicle's recommended 'cold' inflation pressures correspond with the tire's maximum inflation pressure, it…

…consideration when setting tire pressures. A 10-degree Fahrenheit (F) change in ambient temperature equates to about a 2% change in tire pressure. For example, 50 psi tire pressures set on a 60-degree F morning will naturally rise by about 4 psi in the afternoon when the day's temperatures top out…
