Because you can outdrive them, period. Put them on stickers and you on junk, you'll still go faster.

Has anybody asked Toyo directly what the optimum or target tire temperature is hot? We have the equipment to measure the temperatures after a race/qual/practice etc but haven't due to a lack of crew. I'd have to jump out and do it myself. I think we may be overheating our tires based on our slower lap times from the halfway point of a race to the end. We have datalogger info to review to see if our lateral G's are in fact decreasing which may help answer part of the question.
I hope to gather hot tire temperature data next season right off the track along with various other parameters. I have a few other ideas to try out as well...all in hopes to keep up with Dustin ;)
I want to re-vote then... nothing tells me that a potential minor HC difference on the RA is worth the shave costs. Now I'm just more pissed about it... maybe cash the 401 out and literally bring a new set every event.
And then refuse to sell them to you guys... just stack up a giant tire hoard pyramid.
I target 200, but am more concerned with temps across the entire face. I start getting nervous at 225. I also target specific hot pressures.
