Somebody was walking by my car in the pit area and pointed out the chuncked tire and, when I checked the pressure, they were at 48 psi (good 10 min's after I came in from the second session). x)

I was thinking a tire with low pressure would flex more, roll over more, build more heat and be more likely to chunk the outside edges. Higher pressure would seem to keep the tire off the edges. I had a set of PSS chunk to the cords while nearly new and I am trying to learn more.
Original set of Continentals had some small chunking in the center towards the end of their life. I am thinking maybe a little wheel spin and maybe too much pressure.
What hot pressure do you now shoot for?
Thanks.
