They don't like to be cold and seem to thrive in the heat. I set top PAX in the morning when it was ~85deg, and went even faster in the afternoon when it was 102deg.
I'm running 325/30-19 on 19x12 square. The tire would probably be happier on a 12.5", but it would be tough to fit in front. These run big for their size.
They obviously work well on asphalt, really curious to see what they do on the Lincoln concrete. |
Nice big lot you have to race on. I agree on the kangs. In cooler temps they don’t warm up as fast but are still fast. 75 degrees on up they are great and third or fourth lap is fastest. No matter what 35/36 psi is best. Lower no good and 36/37 on up get slippery a bit. In 100 degrees my best runs were second and third, fourth was to hot and temp gun was 150 degrees.
I run 305/30/19s on my old 10.75” wheels and I feel the wheels could be wider. Would help the lazier turn in vs R660s with my stiffer hotchkiss front bar
