[Fot] Toyo R888 - tyre pressures?

[dustin nicholson]

Those numbers seem way high.  I like the R888's on my Spit around 24 psi cold and am very happy with them, I believe Derek runs his closer to 30 and isn't as satisfied as evidenced by the higher speed I could make stick on the carousel at MSR-H.  Of course there could be other factors such as his car's excessive weight or my recently improved but still too positive camber.  I'll play with the pressures a little more this weekend at the CVAR race and let you know if I have anymore feedback.

Mine are not heat cycled or shaved, so *you're results may vary*

 What cold tyre pressures are
 you using for the R888s?  The car is a '62 Spitfire
 - 1425 Lbs with 5.5x13 wheels  The tyres have been
 shaved and heat cycled.  I have heard that they work
 best hot in the low 40 psi range and you should start off at
 33-35 psi.
  Looking for
 others thoughts and experiences.  Thanks    Robert MacKenzierobert at mackenzie.aero
