I'm trying to get the tire pressures right on the R7s on my 914/6/gt. Running 275x35x15 and 245x40x15. I initially started at 22 shooting for 27 hot but I think they like to be run a bit lower than that.
I'm nowhere near what Hoosier recommends though. Any thoughts? |

It has been my experience that you can throw out the Hoosier recommendations - at least for my 914 - way to high. There are other factors that weigh-in on your pressures but for the most part I am within these ranges.
Weight: 2450 wet Cold: 17-20 lbs Hot: 24-27 lbs Camber Front: -2 Rear: -2.5 Anything higher and lap times and control go North...sorry it took so long to chime-in. As Terry said - I am shy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
