Yes, I was trying to keep the psi at around 30 by the time I got off track and out of car. I wish I could get closer to real time psi numbers and any temps. Tires generally felt good on the track. I ended up just switching the tire to the other side and it worked well enough for a half day.

If you go to do more track days maybe using something more like a semi-slick may wear a bit better/easier in the long sessions? I know I have to take a good look at my brakes as well, probably rebuild them this winter. You should come out to the Oct 20th event at Thunderbolt. I'll be there with the SJR SCCA crew. Haven't done a track day in a long, long time.

IMO I would love to be able to carry a set down but I have to compromise right now between street and track. One day I'll get a 2nd set just to drive down with and another set for everyday.
Sorry already going Oct 13,14,15 with NASA to Thunder.
