Tires need heat to work at their optimum on track. But how much? And what's the best way to get and retain that heat?
David Podolsky from Chicken Hawk Racing joins us live to discuss how heat affects tire performance, grip and longevity, plus what some of the best ways are to develop, measure and manage that heat.

Oh! Definitely going to tune in for a bit to catch some of this.
1st question- How can you get temp into a tire that might be too much for the car? For example a light weight car with wide tires.
Follow up question. Is there a better tire that can would when not up to temp?
When I first got serious doing track days with my ZX2SR I ran R Hoosiers. I never could get them up to spec. temps. They still worked good. After some research I switch the A,s. Temps were much closer to spec. Times dropped.
