What hot pressures/temps do Hankook RS4 tires like to see?


Here is the pressure and (outside/middle/inside) tire temp data from my last session on the (predominantly right turn) track layout. All data from Joe's Racing gauges:

Run 5/
1:15.82 fastest lap / 1:14.30 RaceChrono optimal

LF 154/156/160 39.6 psi
RF 130/140/151 39.2 psi
RR 124/139/142 34.7 psi
LR 132/139/140 34.7 psi

Temps measured in the order above, then pressures done in same order. Measured right off the track after a 1/4 mile cool down, tops.


1) Will running lower front "hot pressures" increase front end grip?


2) If so, will this also translate to more initial bite on turn in?
