Aside from that general truth, I need to know specifically which tire you are running to be able to give a recommendation. Also need to know what type of weather you will be running in (cold, hot?)  |
I am running Bridgestone Potenza RE55S Semi-slicks. Ambient temperatures are usually around 30 C (86 F), track temps obviously way hotter.
I don't know if it has any bearing on things, but pretty much the whole of SA is situated at an altitude of about 6000 ft.
