Hey old bugger,
Remember in a few hours I'll have two cars. I don't know about that. Kiezer makes the wheel I want for AX only they will serve me well. I have been doing testing with my pyrometer between my car 2 driver and a competative C5 at Nationals also 2 driver. His tires were in the 120's as were mine. He said he treid slicks and noticed that the car was quicker to point and turn in with the stiffer side wall of the A6. The vette was cooling his rear tires with water after the 2nd run. With 2 drivers and warm weather I have no problem with grip. Spring and fall get tougher and without a good co-driver this season I am probably screwed. Tire science is tough stuff to digest. |

Tire science is tough stuff to digest. That's God's own truth........ I'm not sure I understand everything I think I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) One thing I think I know is you can't use data from a car that weighs 1200 lbs more than ours. It might be useful for *something*......I have had tires get greasy from heat generated pressure gains, but drop them back down to base pressure and they come back in. I think that is due to reduced contact patch not overheated rubber. I now keep on top of pressure. It's not unusual to gain 5-7 lbs in the first 3-5 runs. Slicks seem to get hot quicker (& cool quicker) partially due to having less mass than R specs. Less tire weight is another bonus. My tire/wheel set ups weighs 30-33 lbs ea. |
