I bought the ECF a couple of months ago, so there was no Potenza Race yet. Plus the Potenza Race are significantly more expensive.

Just mount up some A052’s, RE71RS or cheaper RT660’s and go fast.

It's not about the money - I don't want to go fast, I want to learn and have a tire I can trust for a 20-30 minute session without needing to manage heat or wear.

Would they? From what I read these "cheater" 200TW can barely handle a 20 minute session and wear out like butter. They're aimed at autocross and time trials, not HPDE.

So I gathered. I didn't have any baseline on cold/hot pressures and didn't want to start the first session with 25 PSIs cold. I guess I could have been quicker with adjusting pressure. I'll experiment more on Thursday.
And BTW, the common answer in the forum to the question "what tire pressure to run on track" is almost exclusively "it depends" with a bunch of caveats but not even a suggestion, so it's hard for a noob to get a starting point. I chose way too high to start with...
