One of my many jobs when I first got out of school, I worked a short time for Firestone, operating a "banbury", a machine that mixed the rubber compound...it was science, it was like backing a cake, each tire is always going to be a little different, especially if "Fast" Eddie didn't measure something right.....
i gotcha doc! guess im a little dense today! the thing with doing it at the track is i wont see it until bob and i line up for the t&t prior to the import showdown. cant let him have any edge on me as he will clean my clock!!
my only hope is the 7 lbs per side weight diff and he's older so i hope to catch him nappin at the lights!!
i have never checked the temps of the tires before just the psi, so it surprised me how much diff there was. thinking the psi will climb differently as well at high speeds. really thinking of this when i go to a standing mile and see speeds in excess of 150mph!
