I would think that the tires are old .....anything past 3 heat cycles is hard to get the tires up to normal range.....

Normal range is 200-210 degree's.... were the tires radial or bias??

Also what was the starting air pressure and ending air pressure.... also were you using Nitrogen... instead of air...??

Also I appologize for discussing suspensions on a motor thread...

Morris,

Tires were new Hoosier A3S03 radials, heat cycled by The Tire Rack, 335/35-17, 275/40-17.

cold: 36# rear, 38# front. My notes aren't in front of me but I remember the hot pressures to be 43 or 44#.

Air, not nitrogen... shame on me.

Maybe 15-20 minute sessions were too short?

Scott
