Riceburner Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Just picked up a new set of AO50’s in medium compound but I haven’t ran these before. The Bridgestone RE11’s I used to see up to 6psi increase after a session, I aimed for 32psi hot. Is the an optimum pressure or temps with the AO50’s you guys aim for when hot for best grip? They’re 225/45/16. They didn’t have the 50 profile size unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLY240 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Will depend on your setup really but 30 hot is a reasonable base and you should expect a 7 or 8 psi gain from cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledge Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I found 28 hot works better for my car on the AO50. Starts sliding a lot at 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceburner Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Thanks guys, does side wall profile change the pressure gains? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike260LW Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Agree with Brett240, 30psi hot seems to be the sweet spot for the AO50s on a standard weight S30 Riceburner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
