I should keep a little notebook and write down the pressure, outside temps and track I guess, I forget what I did, I am old  |
I think at the end of the day, looking at your tires, there's honestly a combination of things you can do:
- run street tires and take cooldown laps, and don't drive hard enough to chunk them because they won't hold up + add camber
- run 200s, DEFINITELY add camber, and depending on the tire (such as ECF) you can beat the bejeezus out of them at 34psi hot and they won't overheat or chunk
- get a square setup to save on tire cost regardless of the tire you pick
Given this track, I am not convinced there is a way you can continue driving hard for a full hour on street tires, even on Dinan plates, at either a PSI that prevents chunking or a PSI where the car isn't slippery.
