Tire Pressure

In all my trucks and cars, I've always run max or a couple of pounds more; they all lose pressure right,

So on the C14 I would jack it up to 45 or so and have a longer period of time... :rolleyes:

I always heard that motorcycle tires have a much smaller contact patch,

the tire can flex more to increase the size of the patch and conform to surface differences

Looking at race photos of the tire in action, upon landing a jump or at the perfect 45% angle around a corner

So real racers explain a lot of variables.

I usually do more or less the same on 4-wheelers... on the C14 I typically run 42/42 or slightly less (nothing terribly precise, but I do check before riding... nothing less than 39-40 on the RS3s) which doesn't work for track folks, but at the track I'm just a spectator anyway, so it doesn't matter...
