Tyre Pressure for Cups on Track

mattbedford · 02-04-2009, 01:07 PM

Ive just bought a set of 2nd hand Michelin Sport Cups off Justin for a track day at Oulton Park this saturday. What pressures do you reccommend in dry coolish temperature (10 oC). Says 30 in the maunual i think but maybe this is a bit high for track use?

32 Hot. So around 26-28 Cold.

just stick it at 30 first session and adjust down when you come in

Maybe aim for a bit higher (hot) in the wet. Cups are very good in the wet when they're working properly. Just don't go attacking any rivers across the track!
