Track Tire Pressures and Reading Wear

MrMiata house reference

Tire pressure is the cheapest and fastest handling adjustment you own. On track you set cold, tune by hot, and read the wear to confirm you got it right.

Hot vs cold

Pressure rises as the tire heats. You set a cold starting pressure in the paddock, then check hot pressures the moment you come off track — before they bleed down. The hot number is what the tire actually ran on.
