So what tire pressure do most people set their tires for track or street? This is a great question on what type of tire and use. I did't want to open a can of worms but this is a good "disscaution".
I set mine at ( cold ) ;D
29F, 25R......Pirelli Diablo superbike
30F, 30R......Michelins pilot power 2CT

How many change there tire pressure after a trackday for street? do you use your bikes specs no matter what the tire?
I add about 5 extra pounds from trackday pressures so I don't have prematurs tire wear. I don't know if it helps though. It is still a bit less than stock reccomendations which are way to much.
Both the Bridgestones BT003's and the Pirelli Diable Supercorsas for me are the same. I run at 28 rear, 31 front. (hot) Your hot pressures are what matters. The cold settings are just a base recommendation. Some riders will be different than others on hot pressures because of different paces and riding styles. You should always check and set your tire pressures when the tires are hot before trusting them 100%. By hot, I mean immediately when you come off the track. (This is of course in reference to track riding) :)
+1^^^ ;D
I always check my tire pressures right after each session.
I like my diablo superbikes at 33F and 30 R ( hot ).
Wow!! :o :o I just check my tire pressure at the morning than I forget it. Is it not recommended?
temp goes up during the day and so it can effect your tire pressure, you should check it whenever you can. Probably at least 3 times during the day.
Higher air temp means the air particles seperate creating gerater pressure. Same reason hot and cold tire temps change the PSI. Ambient air temp effects it.
:-\
I b morr confusad now thin win i start reedin this thread???
;D
Alright. Now I'm gonna check it after each session. Thanx Putz

Unless your during the time of year that the ambient temp really swings from morning to night, you should be fine just setting them in the morning after your first session and be good for the rest of the day....unless you are having issues. Then you may need to adjust from there. I usually (99% of the time) set them after my first session and call it good. :)
Thanks guys. I understated it.
