34 front, 30 rear, cold, they won`t roll on the sidewalls to disintegration that way.
I had less pressure than that on my last set and wore the middle out first because they were overinflated, I need to try and find the happy middle ground.
Have you kerbed the wheels badly? That could have thrown the alignment out. I doubt it myself.
Probably needs more camber..........or you need to turn down your enthusiasm :tongueclosed::up:
No I haven't kerbed the wheels or hit any unusually big potholes harder than expected.
I have nothing without enthusiasm! Haha I'll aim for camber and a bit more tyre pressure first...
Another thing to consider are the suspension bushes. Are they standard, in good condition? Have you replaced them with poly bushes or similar?
The ultimate for track use would be rose jointed suspension. But considering its still a road car, that would be impractical, as rose joints would rattle out your fillings, before you got above 20 mph :tonguewink:
I believe they're all standard and nothing obvious in terms of poor condition. I might look at options if I replace dampers and springs.
The tyres have been pushed (full marks for that) whilst under inflated.
It`s all very well setting your pressures immediately after putting in some laps, but if you then faff about checking your wheel nuts, oil, coolant levels & your email, they will be lower when you eventually go back out.
End Of !.
Sadly I think you're right, thanks for full marks though! I checked the pressure this morning and the front is down to about 20psi, but it's much colder than it was on Friday when they were at 30 hot.
I was wearing out the middle of the tread on my last set at 36 hot so I think I'll aim for 33 hot and see what happens there. I guess I need to try and warm them up a bit more gently... What's the best way to do this other than just taking it easy for the first few laps, I was lapping in the 54's on Friday, would a couple of laps at 60 seconds be enough to get them a bit firmer?
I've not read about a clio running them this high or having issues warming them up before? It'd be interesting to know what pressures others are running hot and cold to see the difference they get on track?
I set my r888 cold pressures to 22-24psi front/24-26psi rear depending on conditions and have never had an issue like the OP's.
That's interesting to know, what hot pressure is that? What suspension set up are you using?
These tyres are definitely an interesting and very grippy learning curve...
