My tyres were still cold! Don't Think they ever warmed up to be honest I didn't even attempt the knee down on that one then again that's hard enough for me anyway
Chris, you are on PR3's? and Lloydie you were on PR2's same as me.......... Pilot Road dual compound don't need much heat in them [hence they are so good in the wet], you just have to trust them.
down side will be on a track day in warm weather when they will get too hot and start sliding about
I do trust them especially after I seen you drop a knee on it so I thought bugger it ,must be up to temp tho it wasn't till about half way round I did it then I remembered the sharp slow left hander directly after it with a oh feck moment lol
Yeah there pr3s. They feel fine when riding its just the lack of heat that puts me off. Should I raise the tyre pressures a bit then seeing as the front is so low compared to what it should be or leave it where it is, currently about 26psi.
Chris, I know what you mean............ I was always used to getting rubber balls on the edge of my tyre after a good thrashing, and as soon as I fitted the PR2s I could never get them do that. So same as you I assumed that I had less grip.
So I swapped back to more sporty rubber for one tyre. but what I found was I was no faster in the dry, but I had lost some of the wet grip, so since then I stay with the sport tour tyre and just stopped worrying about the lack of heat and rubber balls on the edge......... the tyres have more than enough grip for hard road use on a storm [and I think a touno as well]
as for pressures, run them at the book pressure or just slightly below by 2 or 3 psi

yup, and its then a give way onto a busy dual carriageway all in about 10yards, so you have to get your knee off the ground and start braking after 3/4 way round the curve. don't always remember in time myself as its blind
fair enough. I'll let you off with that one. Think mine will be having some major work done before the track day, see my tuono thread which I'm about to update.....
