Fellow tire changers-
I have run both the A008's and the 032's and find that the 032's want a few
more pounds than the A008's. In the TR$A irs car it seems to want about 28-29
in front and about a pound less in the rear. These numbers give the best tire
temps with this car. It also seems that the 032's want to see a bit more camber
than other tires. The Duke ends up running about -2.5 in the rear and about
-3.5 in the front. My perception is that the 032's have perhaps a bit softer
wall than other similar tires, hence need a little extra help with the
additional camber and inflation.
Of course I could be all wrong as everybody's car is very different and
everyone's style varies.
Not much style myself...
