Living in south florida colder temps are not a concern more the other way around is tires getting to hot and greasy. I have around three-four more events to go through the existing tires then will be going with the NT01.

Another question is how much to the pressures change from cold to hot on R compound tires? Do they change as much as street tires in the past some of the pressure changed +/- 8psi.

Thanks for all the input.

Greg, once I got up to solo I was having pressure changes of around 8lbs. So I started at 30 cold to acheive 38 hot after a few laps of Sebring.

My last 5 or 6 solo events at Sebring I am running harder and seeing around a 12psi change so i am starting out around 27 cold to get to 37-38 hot.

this is on Toyo RA1's. Back during my final blue group days on my street tires Michelin PS2's I was seeing 8 or so psi change but not running as hard as I do now.
