You can actually go all the way to the point of the arrow that is marked in KT's circle.
You will have an easier time of it because the wider wheels will give a much more square tire shoulder. Which makes the face of the tread flatter giving a much bigger contact patch. I have never run Yoko R compounds but as stated above I believe -2 degrees is about right. Without a contact tire pyrometer you will be just guessing from there. Time to preach to you about real pyrometers like you preached lug bolts....... anyway 5 degrees hotter on the inside vs outside means you got them dialed in pretty good. I ran my A3S04 205/50-15 on 8" rims 30 PSI and had tons of grip and got over 50 serious hard close to TTOD runs before my son put a flat spot on one of them. I gave them to a friend who is running the other 3 on his spec Miata for AX. Still got "some life" in em. but not much more. |
