Good question , especially as the pressures in our competition tyres were far to high initially which resulted in Sebring Sienna feeling like she was floating from side to side and turning into corners herself !

Initially our ps2s were at 40 psi rear and 37 front ......no real issues .

Our track tyres were at 40psi all round , but this was reduced to 35psi with the tyres warm ( so more likely approx 30psi ) and the improvement in feel was measurably better .

The ps2s scrubbed well , across all of the tread and not down the sidewalls at all .

Agreed , although , in our defence , Snetterton is a couple of decent straights separated by a couple of right handers and a chicane .

Don't get me wrong , he wasn't blowing us away , but he went well round there and his car was very well accomplished !
