Badger, I currently have an NC with 235 rs4 and the Konig hypergram wheels 17x9. Is this too much tire/wheel for stock power? it does understeer and rarely gets loose unless it's mid august.

Do you find that tire temp graphic useful to actually guage tire core temp for setup evaluation, or is it more just to see if you overdriving a corner? I assume it's metering with infrared sensors?
@Badger_S1973 жыл бұрын
Yep, it`s infrared. I`m just starting to use it and I`m not really good at it yet. What I found every helpful so far though is to look up the temps and the temp-spread post trackday. I find it super hard to get good temp data at the track by myself with a pyrometer. This way I collect all the data and can look at it whenever I want. One thing I found for example is that 325 tires on 18x11 is way too much. I can´t get them up to heat and if I add more PSI they will bulge. It´s actually quite visible in this video if you look closely. The red line shows the average temperature and you can see how bad it is. At the prior event I was using 315 and had even heat distribution. I would have never known how bad it is without this setup. There is a lot more in this and it will take some time to learn it.
