Paul ... dead on . I sent an e mail a while back to the Technical Director of Avon on tire pressures for the track and street . Track ... start at 32 psi front and rear ( hot ) and then make changes based on tire temps . He didn`t really want to see anything under 26 psi for the street .
Personal experience on my ERA with Avons . Started at 24 psi front and rear and car had a delay on turn in ( sidewall flex ) . Went to 27 psi front and 25 psi rear and car handled beautifully . Settled on 28 front and 26 rear cold and then start reading tire temps .
Also correct on springs etc , although most won`t like the way mine rides as it ( shocks and springs ) is set for track use and I don`t change for the street .... I just live with it .
