Just to comment on the tyre pressure variances during track conditions.
When at The Ring back in Easter I was running my first couple of laps at normal road tyre pressures. The tyres (Falken 452s) were squeeling like a stuck pig, gave me no confidence and definitely affected my cornering and braking ability. Not what yolu want when trying to do a quick lap.

I had a chat with a guy who turned out to be an instructor running a GT2. He suggested trying a lap with a lower pressure. I did, and low and behold my confidence came back immediately, and I had a much tidier/quicker lap as a result.

It should not be underestimated. Also, to regularly check the pressure during the day.

Good tyre too BTW. Dont discount as its not a 'premium' brand.

Well worth getting a tyre temp probe - tells you bang on if your pressures arewhat they should be for your driving style
Whilst you do lower pressures most people (myself in the past) can often chase to lower pressure as the car is more forgiving and things happen slower. It's like running with softer suspension - easier and safer but ultimately slower.

I normally run 40pso hot all round, this equates to around 32/33 cold. Norm tyre pressure are 35/38psi.

I understand that there will be lot less slip angle due to the nature of the tyre.

Driving miss Daisy?, always been taught to take "the line of least resistance"

Just drove to and from GTI int on these wheels and I must say im impressed. Observing the tyre heat on route, interesting that my front right is +6 more than my front left. Norm should be the other way around. My car is still pulling to the left.

+6 is a fair bit for on road driving.
Alignment could be out?

Yep it is, however after taking it to 4 places they have confirmed that alignment is spot on. The car pulls to the left, so the FOS is over compensating. Need to get it looked at again. Any ideas as to what it could be?

Both good tyres but sadly we no longer sell the R888's - this was a deal done between sonny and one of my customers on the tyres)

Never sold the Federal but i hear its a good compound.....i can get them but it will take a few phonecalls - pm with your price and i will do my best.

Prefer to sell Yokohamas as always had great feedback from customers on Yokohama AO48's and with the launch of the Advan AD08 we feel we have all options covered as its a grippier road tyre than R888's in the wet and last a lot longer on track too.
