MSV, £149 seems steep for midweek nearly out of season, but I'll be going if it's dry I think

I’m still racking my brains re the understeer I was experiencing compared to the previous track day.

Ariel confirmed the tyre pressures were accurate at 27 psi on Kuhmo’s
They said it may be to do with the amount of heat cycles they’d been through, from Castle Combe.

I will throw a new set on for next time.

I did have the tyres inflated using Nitrogen rather than compressed air, that shouldn’t have an effect?

Heat cycling maybe the issue - I had far more lock ups after two trackdays. The rears wouldnt hook up and were super sensitive to too much power

Swap to a048s ?

Unfortunately not - only a048s soft front and medium rear. At moment I have R888s soft front and rear, which feel better - however I'm just learning the limits of 3.5.

I've used kumhos on another track car and they were fine
