Sidecar tyre pressures & temperatures?

[Kyler]

I'm about to switch to Avon sidecar tires from Hoosiers. Tires sizes are:

Front - 6.2/20.0-13
Chair - 6.2/20.0-13
Rear - 8.2/20.0-13

I hear that you guys run Avons too. My question is what tire pressures are you running and what is your goal at the end of the race for pressure and temperature?

And no, I don't have anything to do with sheep, goats or other furry creatures.:drool:

We run Avons because Yokos aren't available in the sizes we want

different size to you but we run Avon A53 front at 11psi, A11 rear at 10psi and fuck knows what's on the side at 12psi

Temp, we just check to see how even it is across the whole surface and adjust either pressure or camber/toe from there

Sidecarbob might turn up and answer as those sizes are more likely to be closer to what they run on the DMR

Hang on, I'll ask my wife. Ok, on a cooler or overcast day 12 front, 12 rear 14 side Hot day higher track temp, 10 10 12.

I run 27 front 32 rear and haven't checked the side since I Brought it.

how do you tell which way to adjust camber? move the toe towards the side that is hotter?

Bear in mind than Nodrog runs 145/70/10 commuter car tyres on his classic. ;)
