Bump… Tackled TMP yesterday with my MV Agusta. Couldn’t ask for better weather; 75 riders ended up running between all three classes.

The reason I was asking is a lot of people run Q3’s too high at 42R / 36F. For track we suggest 30R / 32F cold with a target of 34R / 34F hot. This should decrease steering effort and improve steering response compared to the pressure you are running. If you play around with the pressures report back. ---

Usually rule of thumb I use is 30/30 cold. What are you riding? I may head to Mid-Ohio this evening after class to run all day tomorrow. ---

So jealous!! Never ran Dunlops but I think street riding recommended 42R/36F in the manual for my old 636. Pretty sure I was running 28/28 once warmed up on the track. I need to get back on two wheels!!! ---
