Track Tire Pressure

[Krazykid]

Ok brief history, I have been to the local track a few times. It's an 1/8" track. I am running michelin ltx M/S 285/75/16, of which the rear two are just about bald. The last few trips down the track I have the front tires at 35-37PSI checked once the tires have been warmed up. The Rears have 40-42PSI. 60' time are alittle high between 1.89-1.93. I am working on aquiring some spring clamps to help. So I guess my question is if I am still hearing wheel spin/hop should I lower tire Pressure? If I lower tire pressure, lets just say 2-5PSI per pass? What is the lowest PSI before tire/rim separation? Thanks for everyones input.

I run 30 front, 20 rear. clamp the springs and lower your rear pressure alot, may want to lower your fronts as well. start at maybe 35 front, 30 rear and see how that works.

X2 or atleast very similar

mark your rims and tires with a dry erase marker....you will see if the tires are spinning on the rims
