Hi,

 

I use to read a lot looking for infromation/solutions already discussed but today I can't find any information regarding these slick tires.

I've just bought a new set of tires, 190 580 r16 front and 230 610 r17 rear, and I would like to know a start point regarding pressures before this Saturday.

 

Does someone tried these slicks? I will start with 23 psi front and 25 psi rear after warm up.

 

Any advice will be welcome.

 

Kind regards,

HGr

I don't think you'll find anyone here who uses slicks

Thanks!

 

I think I'm in the right setup. 

I have less front camber maybe (I milled the steering arms 2mm) but not bad.

you probably have an extra 1/2 a degree there than normal, you have about 1.70 degrees ish?

Probably I'm close to that number.

Finally it was an awsome weekend I ran 24psi front and 26psi rear in hot.
Never felt the car like this before.

Here some photos and videos to thank you.

I love this circuit but it's a little bit dangerous.

Very fast corners with very close walls.

 

Here another video of the circuit (testing mclaren 675LT)
