Have any of you ever measured tire temperatures?
When I was racing, I would do a few hot laps at tire dealer recommended pressures. I'd do a quick pit stop & have my 4 tires measured for temperature across the tread. The goal was an even spread from one side to the other. The front tires were always hotter on the inside from slight negative camber. (You have to take that into account.) Setting pressure by tire temp resulted in my best lap times.

There is plenty of tire temp data on the track day video thread elsewhere on the forum. The consensus to date indicates with the MPSC2 the fronts need to be around target range 29-30 hot F and 32 R
