Thoughts on tyre pressures in the wet
I've been thinking about tyre pressures, and what's best to run in the wet. Both my offs this year have been on wet tracks, and both went the same way, instant loss of front traction and down so fast I don't even remember what happened.
Now usually I run 29/29 in dry on a warm day, I increased this to 31/32 for donny qualifying as it was wet, and I'm wondering if this contributed to my fall. Up until that moment the front end had felt fine, back had slid under moderate power exiting macleans a couple of times but that was it.
So, I thought it might be interesting to conduct a poll of those who fell in qualifying, to see what tyre pressures they were running, and the same for those who managed not to fall, and see if any trend emerges?
I'll start -
31F/32R - lost front, lap 5.
