pressures seems better 35/33 over 40/38, F/R. Then again, the lower temperature day was about 35 degrees cooler in temperature. Tomorrow is Laguna in the high 50s and I'm starting at 36/34.

View Full Version : Falken RT-615s: what pressure do you run at the track? So far the lower OURS4 02-13-2007, 02:41 PM pressures seems better 35/33 over 40/38, F/R. Then again, the lower temperature day was about 35 degrees cooler in temperature. Tomorrow is Laguna in the high 50s and I'm starting at 36/34. Mike S 02-13-2007, 05:18 PM Your opinion? Lastly, why's your car parked in your sig? Mike S CP 02-13-2007, 05:25 PM "pressures seems better 35/33 over 40/38, F/R" Hot or cold? I'm going to be picking up a set of the RT-615s for this season's events and daily driving. FWIW, I always go a bit higher with my rear pressures in my AWD Mitsubishi, street and track. Starting at 34.5F/36R cold and making minor adjustments to about 41 all around when hot has been working for me at the track. deeno20 02-13-2007, 07:19 PM <center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/63138/track_tires_006.jpg"></center><p>But if temps are not extreme in either direction, I usually end up keeping them right there. My RT 615's are 245x45x17. OURS4 02-13-2007, 09:28 PM be predictable but sensitive to pressure. In 80 degrees they became slick after a half session. Then I tried lower and they were fine. In fairness, I had them on the high side at 40 because I had to run my PS2s at a high pressure to keep from destroying the sidewall. Nothing else to compare them to at this time. As for the sig...uhh, really high speed film? OURS4 02-13-2007, 09:35 PM that races in ITB had these on his R32 and found the lower pressure better, just like deeno20 states. I like to run a softer rear pressure to make sure the back end stays planted in case I run out of talent. That and a little softer setting on the rear dampers helps make for a predictable ride. Silver Streakin' 02-14-2007, 09:00 AM I try to run them at 38/40 and adjust according after each session. In the morning the next day, IIRC, the 215s were sometimes down in the upper 20s -- usually on which ever front I leaned on the most. I usually rotate that tire to the opposite back that is often the highest. and, adjust pressures accordingly. Silver Streakin' 02-15-2007, 08:41 PM |
