when i ran 285's on the rear of my s14 they wore flat... so how is that equivelant to a 195 ? and to note that it was less than 200kg heavier, so 20% over what the 86 is but with 285 instead of 225

and are you tyring to say you run 32 psi on a dry track with normal street tyres ? thats ridiculas altho not including r1r, re010 or re001 as normal street tyrs either as they are all heavily reiforced similar to semi slicks,

semi slick tyre pressures tend to range between 28 and 32, sometimes as low as 24 with high ambeint temp's

when they heat up they normally go up a few psi

[s14seriesII]

all settings stated are cold pressures

[crackett]

I've seen tyres rise 10psi after just driving on a hot day around 35 degrees. They rise almost 15psi when doing mad skids as well. Haven't tested that on slicks though. I have a set that are just wanting to be chewed though, haha.

another drift day yesterday, kenda komets are now called kenda komet plus (different pattern) and they last even longer than the old ones, so yer massive win! i run 40ish psi in them too

[hao.]

^ I gotta get me a pair of Kenda Komets and try them out. How much do you pay for them Robo? You run 185/60 hey?

[Robo86]

yea man 185/60, i get them like cost price through a mate for like 135/140 a pair new, they are a bit more in shops though

[Brendo]

Has anyone tried 185/60 r14 Caliente's? they are reasonably cheap

have used kuhmo ecsta spt on the back for drifting.. they dont have a whole lot of grip altho they feel grippy on my n/a 4age road car.. run them backwards for lots of smoke and lots of tread wear.. normal rotation for long life and slightly less straight line grip..

have recently used 205/50 adrenalin re001 they are really good 32 psi cold.. lots of grip, smoke, and last ok,

i now have a pair of r1r's to use in the same size to see how they go
