Tire temperatures and pressure work hand-in-hand, and dialing in pressures is aided by the use of a tire pyrometer. Race compound tires like the RA-1 work best with an operating temperature in the 170-200 degree F range, with equal temps across the tire tread being preferred. Pressure and camber adjustments can be made to raise or lower temps at the center and edges of the tread. Typically, increasing negative camber results in lower temperatures on the outside tread edge and higher temps on the inside edge, while lowering air pressure reduces temps at the center of the tread, and vice versa.
