Salut JP,

as per Michelin website and technical datas on the tyres, efficient warm pressure is between 2.3 and 2.5bars front and rear tyres.



far from what we get on Yas circuit during summer

30 psi fully hot. About 2.0 bars is ideal for track use.

I hit 44 psi the other day after my first few laps before airing down to 32. The difference never ceases to amaze me. It's like 2 different cars
