front:
-stock tires @ 36.5 psi cold
rear:
-Nitto NT05's @ 35 psi cold

Both front and rear tires were 25-30 degrees hotter on the inside, than the outside.
I may be flamed for this response, and I accept it with great humility. Reason for humility: My 30-year old chick-boss told me that my knowledge is no longer applicable to current operations. I was born 20 years before she, and I have several Graduate School degrees more than she, and I know our business more than she, and she asks me, "What do I do, Greg?"...Yet I am bypassed for promotion. I digress! My useless/old info question is: racing Tire Pressures are, typically, higher than OEM recommended PSI. Why are you running only 36.5 (1.5 over stock)???? Call the tire manufacturer for racing PSI. R/S, Greg
