[Fot] Hoosier R6 tire pressures

[MadMarx]

A race engineer of a Porsche team said to me that the spread of temperature
on the tires, measured from outside to inside, should not exceed more than
60F.
50-60F is the optimum for racing.

Cheers
Chris (who is running 4.5 degree at front)

I reduced my camber from 3.3 front &
2.5 rear by three tenths for Topeka.
At 3.3 I  had a 13 - 16 degree spread
 From in to out with the insides being the hottest from 145 - 160.
Reducing the camber resulted in the spread reduced to eight degrees.
That didn't neccissarily make the car quicker. That set of tires was
pretty well used by Friday.
Have you taken temps with 4.5 negative?
