Bridgestone slick tire pressures

I have a new to me LWT bike that has 120/165 'stones on it. Going to take it to the track for the first time tomorrow and have been riding SC1s for the last two years.

What would a good baseline pressures be?

 

At PIRC, we were running 34F/25R - the track was ~144 degrees (90+ outside temps, hot track)
At Mid Ohio, we were running 31F/24R - dont know the track temp, but it was significantly cooler than PIRC (+/- 80 degrees, cooler than PIRC)

Find a happy medium!

 

Were those your starting pressures off warmers or the off track pressures?

 

Hot off the warmers

 

Thanks.

 

Talk to Derek stickboy Bennet

Stick boy will say those same pressures.

 

Road Atlanta was also 34F/25R - Mid 90’s outside temp

 

34F/26R seemed to do the trick. 110F air temp.

 

I've always done 28f/26r COLD, and look for about 4 psi to hot. Very seldom to I have wear or grip issues.

I recently came across the lower rear pressures recommended here but have yet to try them out.

As noted give them all a try and adjust from there, but any of these is a good starting point. Make sure your gauge is accurate
