There are different types of tires, each specific for a particular use. The sportier tires usually have a very soft compound, but this does not mean that the tire temperature before you enter into another produced for tourism or urban
Each type of tire has among its characteristics the optimum temperatures. The slick tires, designed exclusively for use in sporting track, begin to be efficient around 70 ° C.
A rubber-type tourist comes up to temperature much earlier, around 35 ° C. The difference between the two types lies not only in different optimum operating temperature of the mix in the invoice but in the end that determines the greater or lesser adherence to the asphalt.
The best compromise for a mixed use road / sports (not excluding the fun on the track) tires are soft compound but entering temperature of about 35/40 ° C (Dunlop D207). Excluded from the Michelin Pilot Race marking a temperature rating of not less than 60 ° C.
Tips:
- A low tire pressure reaches the first temperature. The flat tire can be spread more asphalt, is heated and the internal pressure increases, working perfectly. When you go to the track so it is preferable to "debunk" some of the atmosphere (if the owner's manual and maintenance was 2.2, can lead to 2.0)
- A softer compound rubber provides better seal in the front trajectory and is therefore recommended for beginners and amateurs to the first approach to the runway.
