What tires/size/pressure were you running? Did you bleed it thru the day?

the fronts were at 43lbs in the am after each run, but in the afternoon's heat they shot up to about 49, so i bled the fronts out to 43.
no doubt i need to learn to drive better. i try to trail brake into a lot of corners, but probably end up over-cooking most of them. i didn't see any wear like this last year (my first year) when driving my GTI on Direzzas. The GTI was a little lighter, but had smaller fronts, with no additional neg camber and it was fwd and i drove hard into corners and out of corners, plus did 7 or more events on them no problem. These Hankooks look like they are taking a serious beating on the sidewall.
