Hi guys - what pressure are poeple running the KU36's at Lakeside.. Quite a few people ran them on the 25th at Lakeside.
I had previosly spoken to Kumho and they suggested 30-32 cold and 34-36 hot. (205/50R15)
Based on the look of the wear and the feel of mine, I am thinking more like 34-36 cold
Any opinions ?
Thanks Greg.

I was running 36 hot and it felt fine, maybe experiment for yourself?

Re: Kumho KU36's at Lakeside
if memory serves, I had them 35cold which went to 37-38hot.
Start around the 35-36psi cold mark and go up 1-2psi and see what you are comfortable with.
But always tae ambient and track temps into consideration.

i've ran both 32psi and 36psi cold. 36psi was much better. my 205/50/R15s jumped 4psi when hot.

Re: Kumho KU36's at Lakeside
Mine were set to 36 cold last week, and I was quite happy with the results. 205/50/15. It was my brakes which were letting me down....
Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever.

36-38psi hot (33 psi cold) seemed to work for me.
