So.. I found one of the few sporty tires for 14" rims for my 914. Falken Azenis RT615-Ks. 195-60-14.
So far, I really like them. However, I can't seem to tell a good pressure for them at AX. First even started at 35 cold all around.. felt ok, and kept bleeding down to 35 as they heated up. Car felt good, but did feel as they heated up I was losing grip, hence the bleed downs during the day Second event, didn't check cold (slow brain) but bleed them down, hot to 32ish. Couldn't really tell if they were better or worse than 35 hot... My previous 914 and R comp experience was 205-50-15s (smaller sidewall) of Yoke A008, A032rs, Kumho Victoracers, RA-1s. For those, I never ran more than 30hot. What could be skewing my memory/preferences is the last 3-4 years I ran a stock 1987 944, 215-60-15s Fuzion xxxx's and they really felt good at 35 hot all around. Thoughts? Should I be closer to 30 hot with these too? Perhaps I fear too much sidewall flex for the 60 series tire... |

Agree on both counts. Hoosiers on a DSR/SCCA P2 rarely exceed 14-15 psi. It's all about contact patch. I watched the tires we ran on Shane's car and you get a pretty good picture of what they're doing by the rollover, particularly when every driver is pushing their hardest. By the end of the day, the car was HOOKED UP, and is a ton of fun to drive. Shane built a great car.
For you, don't be afraid to take air out - as long as the bead is still holding, you're fine. |
