Does anyone have the PDF saved from the sticky above (as the link is no longer active) as I have just fitted my Cups and want to get the best out of them at the 'ring next week?

Thats perfect for a heat cycle at a consistent pace.
On mine that I heat cycled, I found the rubber was perfect all through the tyres life and didnt go hard like most of the cups ive seen. I run mine at 32 psi hot but on 18 inch rims, with even wear -3.25 upfront and -2.20 at the rear but do alternate rims over. If this is your first time on cups your love them and the extra grip, plus the car comes alive. Have fun |

Mike I generally start around 24psi cold and gauge it from there. I dont like to see them above about 32psi.
Mine have about 2mm left so they are in the back seat and I have my super sports fitted for the journey. |
