This morning I went for a long ride and measured my tire temperatures with an instantaneous reading temperature probe. I measured at three points across each tire. With my tires inflated to 26F/24R the temperatures were quite even. I never measured them while they were inflated to 30psi all around.

What I did observe was slightly more steering effort, but noticeably less steering wheel shake. My car used to feel a bit nervous when holding a turn through a corner, know that's all gone. Also, the back end used to stutter around a corner on an uneven road and that's all but gone.

I think I'll leave the inflation pressures at these new setting for a while and see how I like it at the track next week.
