What Happen to my tyres!!!

[Gh0sT]

hi, any sifu can tell my what caused this and will it affect anything?

just came back from sepang track,

1) maybe it was because at some corners i didn't take the racing line and caused unnecessary stress on the tires and caused this?

2) maybe the tires are over inflated or under inflated?

It only happened to the front tires, rear tires don't have this problem.

so any suggestions on what should i do???

pictures are here...

dont look anything wrong to me....after spirited driving my neova's also got that edge thing...pek corner alot kua

 

[egiewan]

It's normal...dun worry. Once you drive normally in a couple of days, it should level out. What tires are those? Looks familiar...R1R?

 

[Gh0sT]

yeah, its r1r...

level out ar? some areas is like 50% left....and the tires are 2 weeks old :( :( :(

thats mean ur tire pressure kinda low when u in SIC... & pek corner kao kao...

agreed...low pressure...


Gh0sT - what pressure are running with ?


look at the Parada Spec 2...even worst...sidewall to damn soft...
too loose...scraping all over the corner...under kaw2...

I reccomend car tires 2 psi harder than normal for trackdays.

On track, the loads are higher, due to harder cornering.

But after every stint I check to make sure the tires haven't gone up too hard la

if normal i'm using 32psi, then goto sic, make it 34psi...??
thats confirm eat grass 1st, then eat sand, after last few corner, eat rocks loo...

hihihi..over inflated..

 

[Gh0sT]

after 3 laps i check my pressure it was up to 40psi, so i let it go some air to 35 psi...

did u went up the apex on the left side at one corner.....
if u went over it at high speed.....its eats up the thread unevenly.....that was based on my own experience, R1R too.......only 1 side, front LH.

yeah, mostly on turn 9...same lo, mine also on front LH. front RH also got but not so obvious.
so your r1r still usable? did u do anything to the tires after that?

JINIELSEN, angrysnail,

Not so. With the 2 psi harder pressure, there is less sidewall deflection, meaning the tires contact patch to the road is more stable. As u know tire threads have better grip than sidewall. hahaha

This piece of advice was given to me by a Chassis Engineer, Tengku Djan Ley, himself.And ever since then my sidewalls are better for it.

I have driven on tires such as RE050, RE 070, AD07, Eagle Assymetric Conti CSC3 with up to 34-36 psi, and there is no loss of traction.

Ghost,

Bear in mind also when you measured at 40 psi, the tire's are hot.

this happen to my T1R also...the worst part is.. when i drive my car...the sterring doesn't feel right...when i take a corner..it feels like i turned too much..or sometimes even too little..not sure how to explain...all i know...i checked my tie rods and joints...everthing is fine..im assuming its my tires ...my sidewall looks like it dissapeared...haihs...have to get new tires.

bro, difren sizes is difren psi right..??
then if 195/55-15, how many psi shld put in..??

if u said those tires at above is 17" & above, then i understand la... 34-36psi...

me too... just changed the T1R, the whole car like swing swing here & there...
after i measures the width of the T1R, the contact patch, with the same 195/55-15, the T1R r 3/4"inches or up to 1"inches(difren tire pressure) lesser than AD07... no wonder the tire r 1.2-1.5kgs lighter than AD07... no wonder the car won't b as stable as the tire i'm using b4...
btw, the side wall oso kinda soft... wtf...
