Hankook Tire Pressures
Going to try a set of Hankook Ventus R compounds my next trip to the track. I know some of you guys have run them from past threads. What tire pressure do you usually run hot? About how many pounds PSI increase from cold to hot? I usually allow about 7 lbs with the Hoosier R6. The Hankooks are going on an SP3 944T.
Any other comment on what to expect appreciated.
Thanks

I have run Hankooks on my 3300 lb 993 for about a year, after some experimenting I ended up running same hot pressures as I did with the Hoosiers R6s,

On my 2,975 pd (with driver) 944 Turbo Cup I start about 7-8 pds low and like them at 36-37psi hot. Tried higher pressures and not as stable and worse tires wear. I run -3deg camber with 1/8" total toe at Sebring.

I intend to track heat cycles. I find the Hoosier R6 gives up at around 12 to 14. Any feed back on the Hankook. Be glad to share my set up data, heat profiles, etc.

Hal, did you just buy those tires? Tire Rack says May delivery. Another Rlestr said he ran them last year and liked them, but they were not available until July. I want to try them this year as soon as they are available.

Just got them last week. I think I remember some of the sizes not available for the 17s. I'm running 16's at Roebling.
Did a recent Hankook tire test at Road Atlanta, ran the rear pressures from 35-41, quickest lap time and best feel was 34-35 front, 36-37 rear.
