DocB Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 It's getting toward the end of the season and I only have one set of new tires left, and I am going to have to make this set count and last ( have already exceeded the racing budget this year). Tires are Toyo RR 275/35-18, mounted on 9.5" rims. They will be on an 08 Mustang GT, 3700 full race weight. What are you fellas seeing as a good, optimal target in air pressure, hot, front and rear? Only looking for a target from experience, as Toyo recommends high 30s to low 40s, and I think this might be a little high. TIA. Quote
SNAKBITN Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 I aim for 36 or 37 hot front and rear. Quote
Royster Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 40 feels best for me. Ran 37 and it felt loose. At 40 it griped fine and will look at 41 next time to see if there is much difference. Running same size on 9.5 wheels on a 99 3550 lb mustang. Quote
DocB Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks fellas. I'll shoot for 40 hot and see how it feels. Quote
lonewolf583 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 I found my best tire temps throughout the day at 40/38 hot. Same tire, same rim width, diff cars/geometry/axle, but similar weight. Quote
