Nitto 555RII Tire Pressure Suggestions??

[ls110]

So speaking of shredded tires, I burned through another set of Conti's today with thread showing in my left front tire as usually. I was able to get seven 25 minute sessions, or a little over 3 hours on this set. That was a actually an improvement for me. I then switched over to the Nittos.

I was a bit cautious at first coming off the Conti slicks to the Nittos but they handled very well. It seems my speeds in turn 2 at BIR were consistent with the conti's, maybe two mph slower. Unfortunately my lap timer was not working so I am not sure how it effected my over all times.

Thanks for the help the pressure info!!

FYI - I hit 149.9 MPH on the long straight away, as recorded on my GPS TraqMate!! I thought the Boss had a limiter at 144???

I've gone 155 or better with mine.

That's what I hit (150) on the same tires. The limiter is actually 155, but with the shorter tire it's probably closer to 152.

Once again I've learned something new. You guys just made my Boss 10 MPH faster!!

I was off by a pound, I have been running the conti's hot at 29.5 left and 28 right. They increase 6 pounds from cold to hot very consistently.

I run the Contis at 34 hot. I was running them at 30-32 hot but I found 34 is better. I start at 28 front and 27 rear to get to 34 hot typically.

Thanks for the info Gary. I just got my Contis mounted and hitting the track next weekend. Cant wait since it's the first time I'm running slicks.
