Yup, stodgier and slower around Calder yesterday. Sharp initial turn in promises lots and then turns into understeer. Can't complain given what I paid for them on 9s in trade for worn out 888s on 8s though.
At 28psi they're much harsher, although quieter, than the 888s on the road. Maybe at that psi I've introduced a bad match between the harmonics of the sidewalls and the springs and shockers. I'll try your 38psi.

I find the sidewalls in these to be quite soft, for what they are intended for. I am running them on 8" rims.
34 hot on the track. Suspension setup and weight will be factors to get the right hot temp.
32 cold for the road works for me.
