There is a guy selling a mess of tires and stated durometer hardness as a method of how fresh the tires were. or the degree of how gone they are. Might have to get me one of these just because I am a gadget nut when it comes to my race car. |

Yup, I have built a pretty good base of car set up # runs on a tire. Temps that the tire got up to. and my opinion of the grip that was available on that particular surface.
I would be curious how the durometer measurement correlated to the grip vs. # runs and temp. One thing I have found is new tires grip so much that stiffer springs are required. as they get to half life and have less grip springs up to 100 pounds less work better. |
