Track day tyre guide

• Depending track rotation direction

• Between two track days or in the mid-day of track day

• Good wear aspect of the tread pattern, especially shoulders

• Remaining tread depths > 1.6mm

• No damage on the tyres

• Warm tyres
  Never decrease the inflation pressures below standard inflation recommended pressures for road use by the car manufacturer

• Cold tyres
  Start with the tyre pressure recommended by the car manufacturer

• (camber primarily) must comply with the car manufacturer's specifications

• Always begin with the car manufacturer recommended pressure.*

*Remember to adjust tyre pressure according to the number of passengers in the car.

• 2 slower laps (Nordschleife track: first half lap only), then take the next 3 laps «pushing» a little more (Nordschleife track: second half lap).

• As the tyre warms, the air inside expands leading to increased pressure in the tyre.

• Dry track: come back to inflation pressures recommended by the car manufacturer

• Wet track: no change of pressure (could be higher than car manufacturer recommendation)

• Small adjustments are possible, depending on various aspects and car balance.

• If there is more than one hour between 2 runs, start again from step 1
