Tire hardness

I just bought a tire durameter. It measures hardness.

I read somewhere that Michelin pilot super sports start life with a Ha hardness of 72. For comparison, my chunking, heat cycled out set were about 80.

My old NT01 set that have just lost their thread pattern were 61.

A used set of Federal race tires I just purchased were a little disappointing 72.

But I have no experience with these test or numbers.

Anyone taking pressures, temps AND harness that can share some wisdom?
