    I just ran these tires at tally. I came from Bridge stone bt003 running 1:07. The fastest today was a 1:05 and avg 1:07. My issue was I felt like I was IDing everywhere. Men said these titles ate designed for this. Does anyone elde do this? I'm thinking of selling these and going ahead and buying slicks and warmers. Thoughts? Because it was unnerving a little bit whenevery time I accelerated I start to drift. And if I'm being a big baby lmk. ;)

    What pressure did you set them at in the morning? They get super greasy if they're over inflated.

    Started 22, and then dropped to 20. It felt better but I was nervous to drop it any more.

    Yes, the Michelins street tires slide a lot at an accelerated pace. Did you notice any blueing of the rear tire due to excess heat?

    I might have gone up in pressure a little, 22 is at the end of the range for me. I find the rear likes 22-25, depending on track temp.

    I don't see any blueing. I have a pic I'm going to try to get up.

    When I ran SS's I had the same issue. Seemed to happen once my lean angle transitioned over to the harder center compound.

    Here are the tires. Me and technology don't get along so this is all I could figure out.

    the link doesn't work. Probably because you've got your security setting to where only your friends can see it. We aren't your friends on there...

    OK I'm fixing it now. There's a dark line between the left edge and center of the tire. I've never seen that in a tire before.

    Link doesn't work.

    I get a very pronounced line on mine where my acceleration-zone/lean-angle is. I'm a wuss so my line is about an inch from the edge of the tire. :scared: LOL

    I'm wondering if you might be seeing the same thing. Since Tally is mostly lefts, you'd see it on that side since it's getting most of the action.
