About to do my first track day on the blade have much 2ct tyres on at the most just wanted to get an idea of tyre pressures I should be using and is there anything else I should change Cheers
Morning.. I did the Niall McKenzie super bike school at knock hill yesterday on my road bike.. fantastic experience with tons of track time. I started the day with fairly standard pressures 34F/36R but Niall came round the bike and changed them both to 30. The racers on here will no doubt go a lot lower than that, but it worked a treat for me
Hi buddy can be all different I always first at track day dropped them to around 32 front 30 rear see how you go there is always tyre people there who give good advice have fun
Ask the tyre guy on the day. I did that Sunday for my cadwell TD and Denzil had to run 30 front and rear Hot on Dunlop Sportsmarts and found it gave good feedback and wear. I am running Dunlop D211 Gp's and was told to run 24 hot rear and 30 hot front. Found that was about right.
I have a set of tyre warmers too so will be hot from the start helps with tyre wear too so I heard, thanks for the info
Tyre warmers are great if you have power or a Genny. No genny and no Power meant I did not take my warmers at cadwell so the slower riders over took me for the first lap while I warmed my tyres. Well worth having tyre warmers. But not essential
Depending on tyres if a hot pressure reading is needed always check tyre pressures when you come in from first session as they will be a lot hotter than on your warmers.
