[Fot] Hoosier radial slicks

[Ken Knight]

It is a setup and may require changes in spring rates, sway bar settings, camber and toe to get the most out of the tire.  The way the car is driven on the new tires; braking points, turn in, power out can also be a learning curve.  The “feel” of these tires is going to be different than the old tire and possible as you get to the edge more subtle before losing all grip.  Just takes a bit of track time and you will no doubt get it.  Ken

I first tried high pressure. 
Again 5 secon slower in total 10 seconds. 

Then I tried low pressure....faster then my other tries. 
Only 3 seconds slower than the Avon Times.

27 is my bet. 

The radials will be a few seconds slower than slicks because less grip

Thanks guys, 

Wit AVON I started with 14psi cold and got up to 22psi hot. Biasply slicks. 

The Hoosiers are radials.
I'm currently 5 seconds slower using 32psi hot and was 6 seconds slower with 30 psi hot.

Not sure which direction to go?
34psi or 27psi hot?

Cheers Chris

Hi guys, 

Anyone has some input about the target pressure on these slicks? 

Cheers
