Pirelli Tire Changes

[Sig]

SC0 is VERY soft, very sticky but will wear out very fast.

Personally, I'd stay away from it unless you have money to burn. :)

I usually go with a S1 front and SC2 rear. However, at CMP they were out of SC1 fronts and I went with an SC2 front and it seemed to work just as well. CMP is a very course track, tough on tires.

I just used them this weekend at Summit Point and WOW what a sick tire.
For the extra $40 from the Supercorsa pro, this tire was NASTY.
I did stuff I never should be doing on a normal tire.
Just a controllable nice tire to run.
Still the Supercorsa is a great tire as well, but this thing just wears better.

REM, Are you referring to the qulifiers or the Diablo's in general? I just finished my first track day at Grattan and was very impressed with the new tires. They wear evenly and grip fantastic and look as though they'll last a full weekend with ease. Running SC1f and SC2r. Yet again, i have to work on my skills to find the limits of this tire. A noble cause indeed!

While I'm at it, I have a noob question:  What tire pressures do you run? Do you measure when cold or hot? Do you underinflate a cold tire by a pound or two and let the heat raise the pressure? I noticed that lap times improved as I dropped the pressure bit by but, but only up to a certain point.

We ran 31/29 hot last year and have been told 33/29 with the new Pirelli's. 

Trying them this weekend and can't wait.  Hey Jason!
