[QUOTE="FJRBluesman, post: 869583, member: 5903"] Tires should always be checked cold heated tires give various pressures, inconstant. The stock recommended tire pressure is about at this pressure. Most go higher for better wear, longevity. Handling should still be pretty good. :blink: In the twisties the lower tire pressure helps with grip. At the track the pressure is even lower (I ran my Dunlop D207's at about 29psi cold, per the Dunlop tire guys at the track) due to the extreme heat and thus increased pressure, and you want grip. ;) Since you check the tires hot, maybe they were slightly under inflated and handling worse. :huh: [/QUOTE]
