    Anyone have telemetry data verifying ideal hot psi for various tires (Michelin, Hankook, Pirelli)?
    One team advised us 20psi cold, 27 hot target for Pirelli but the manual says 1.6bar (23psi) cold and no issue if pressure gets a bit high hot. When we started at 20 psi we achieved 27 to 28 hot. When we started at 23 we were between 30 to 31 hot.
    we haven’t been able to pull data out of the car yet so our experimentation has been seated to the pants, but honestly track conditions change too fast to really gauge the impact.

    what have you all learned?

    we always start off cold at 20 or 21 we try to achieve 27 hot seems to work. The best for us

    And that’s what the Perelli challenge Tires I don’t have any numbers for the others at this time. We’re running Yoko‘s at Thermal seems to be the best all-around tire last the longest and better grip
