Yep, thanks. I did a day a Thunderhill when I got them new and I was ready to throw them away. Scary in fact! Now after 4 track days, they feel much better but they still give after 15-20min into the session...

FWIW, I'll be at Laguna Dec 4th and Sears Dec 7th if any of you guys are running with NCRC, you'll find me there...

i experimented from 32 hot to 44 hot. AIM website suggested very high pressures. i think 48! 44 hot felt really sketchy like white-knuckle driving except you're going fast. didn't go beyond that. on the low pressures it felt squirmy as if i was riding the sidewalls on the corners.
