TRACK DAY TIRE GUIDE

Depending track rotation direction

Between two track days or in the mid-day of track day

Good wear aspect of the tread pattern, especially shoulders

Remaining tread depths > 1.6mm

No damage on the tires

Warm tires: never decrease the inflation pressures below standard inflation recommended pressures for road use by the car manufacturer

Cold tires: start with the tire pressure recommended by the car manufacturer

(camber primarily) must comply with the car manufacturer's specifications

Always begin with the car manufacturer recommended pressure.*

*Remember to adjust tire pressure according to the number of passengers in the car.

2 slower laps (Nordschleife track: first half lap only), then take the next 3 laps «pushing» a little more (Nordschleife track: second half lap).

As the tire warms, the air inside expands leading to increased pressure in the tire.

Dry track: come back to inflation pressures recommended by the car manufacturer

Wet track: no change of pressure (could be higher than car manufacturer recommendation)

Small adjustments are possible, depending on various aspects and car balance.

If there is more than one hour between 2 runs, start again from step 1
