So I don't have a good engineering answer for- what is to low a temp- don't t=
hink it is peculiar to a gt6- but generally try to maintain 200-240 F by cov=
ering part of the cooler with tape.
Toyos- I've had best success when they are about 35-36 psi hot. They pick up=
 about 4-5 psi from cold.  The hot emp is consistent with Toyo recommendatio=
