Running285/40/18 KDW2s on 9.5 inch rims we were running 40 psi this past weekend on a 1.3 mile flat road course. We ended at 40 psiafter checking the temp readings with a pyrometer.

The only problem we were getting was scuffing on theoutside shoulder of the left front and this was probably due to a long right hand sweeper. Camber is - 3/4 degree with 1/16 toe in. Putting more camber on would probably have helped with the scuffing. Time to rotate front to back.

Hope you have fun. I had a blast - chased down a hopped up SRT8 and he was just pulling me a bit on the straights - not what he expected. Caught up to him in the corners.

Saweet!

Thanks for the 411. We'll give that a shot.

I understand Mid Ohio has about a 3500 ft. back straight (well, with a slight dogleg). 'Technical' track with a lot of elevation changes and some interesting turn cambers.

I'll file a report when I get back .
