Road VS Track TIRE PRESSURES (Sous Titres 🇫🇷)

Why is there such a big difference from road to track tire pressures? Explanations using the Bridgestone RS11's

[gaz__]

Couldn’t agree more, I didn’t change my tyres presets for a track day and was like riding on ice after few laps, lesson learnt

Merci monsieur Guintoli pour vos précieux conseils ! Enfin une explication concrète à tout ça 👌

I was using the recommended pressures on the swing arm. I have a 2018 gsxr 600, 36/42 and I will tell you if you ride hard and ride twisties, dont use that especially for rear its way too much its only if u carry passengers or ride slow… if you ride aggressive 30 front and 26 rear, those pressures when warm will go way up and its perfect, no slip.

Love your videos! Can you do a corner entry video please!!!? Seems to be the place that most can improve on but it's just a guessing game until you lose traction... what do you look for before losing the front!?

[toni_capo]

so one thing no one tells and in my opinion is very important: what about the pressures on that kind of tyres in a warm place (summer ~35ºC ambient, sunny) and in a curvy road driving in a sporty style? Should we tend to lower near track pressures? or more near "street" pressures?

Thank you for your over flow of knowledge ❤️

Thank you Sylvain. You confirmed I was doing it correctly.

THX Sylvain, for the valuable advise and explanation

On my supermoto I run the same pressures on street and track, or close enough (26/25 F/R cold on street, 24/24 F/R on track) but that's because with a 110kg bike on sport bike tyres (Supercorsa SC0) you have to work pretty hard to get heat in them... On my MV I run 33/33 street and 28/26 track with Supercorsa SP V3's

Bike looked mega at cadwell Park👌
Loving the new paint scheme

36psi for the front is really meant for your typical road rider who just commutes or goes touring, because they don't want you riding on the road like you would on the track, if you're pushing hard on a nice twisty road then just run basically the same pressures as you would on the track, I tried 28psi in the front on my sv650 recently and it felt great, I figured the lower pressures would help the tyres heat up faster, the only difference is I run higher pressures in the rear because on the road you're usually not getting on the gas hard and early the same way you would on the track, so I choose to run higher pressure in the rear for a bit more longevity.

[ircsmith]

great insight as usual! I raced with the AFM in California for years on Bridgestone. pressure was critical. as the track temp went up the pressure had to rise as well. Other manufactures were not the same. If you do a track day get some help from the manufacture of what ever brand you run.

[UnrestrictedIsle]

A lot of people are shocked that the pressure difference swaps round ( I was )
Going from a much higher rear pressure than front on the road, to a softer rear than front on track.

The question is, what about those mad men that go on track with a passenger? 😆

Hi sylvain great information I’ve spoken with you a few times at donnington that’s my local track I’m about 20 minutes away from there I do struggle with tyre pressure each time I’m at track I run Pirelli Diablo super Corsa tyres I’m at donnington on the 19th July

Basically you're saying in the end you will end up with similar tyre pressures (hot) because the tyre has a range where it works best. On the track, you start lower (cold) because the tyre will heat up much more and much faster. Also, you will stay at the lowest end of tyre pressure (hot). So the most important is to measure the reality, on the track and on the road, repeatedly. There is no setting that is correct forever, it will change as you load the tyre. In my experience, 1.8 bar (cold) will be 2.3 bar (hot) very quickly.

[pizzaparty-rc]

I have TPS on my BMW S1000RR. When riding on the track, the pressures can increase as much as 5 psi when hot.

[Doubledeepfried]

Lower pressure so the tire can heat up. so what is the warm pressure? 1.8 cold (rear) so hot 2.2?

[NOONE-hpbw]

I've always ran 28 rear 32 front on the road

[BG_]

Yeah but each riders ability varies and so does the ambient and track temps so the pressure rise for the tyres on track will vary....so whats the aimed for HOT pressures on track???? thanks..merci

très intéressant, magnifique la moto !
