does this wear pattern mean that my slicks were under inflated. I believe i was running 18 to 20PSI. i cant remember exactly.

i'm pretty sure that it means they were under inflated, I just wanted some expert opinions. I know everyone says they run 17 or 18 psi and i was running 18 or more. I know i didn't go under 18psi. but i guess different tires on different cars will not all be the same.
 
kinda look like M&H's or some Et streets.....

I stated over inflated, because i haven't seen anyone at the tracks i go to run more than 16 psi in slicks.....BUt that is gonna vary by the cars weights etc. so i was just throwing out a guess..... maybe someone with personal experience will chime in.


:nice:

if you are running that much air they are over inflated.

slicks dont cup like a steel belted radial will...


I agree. We all know this from the typical tire wear .....

1.) Over-inflated = tire wear in the middle.

2.) Under-inflated = tire wear on the edges.


Now notice on his, the wear is NOT on the far edge, NOR is it in the middle. I say they are OVER-INFLATED.
