racedeck,

I reduced tire pressure for the track from 37 psi (street) to 31 psi for street tires on my RS (YOKOHAMA 008). Track temperature was 107°F!

After the cool down lap I measured about 140°F at the tire with 42 psi pressure. although I think reducing the initial pressure with this hot track temperature is even better.
they tended to understeer during the last 3 of 10 laps. (after about 30 miles.)

this may be a good start.
