I only had 'em on warmers before the first session. They were brand new so I took the first session fairly easy. Never used the warmers again, just took the first two laps slower than normal. They felt great all day long. I ran 30/30 cold in 'em.

The bridgestone rep told me ideal cold pressure should be 26-28 on those, bring it down a notch next time and see how they feel.

A factory rep suggested 30/30 during my TD. Had no issues whatsoever.

Ideal pressures vary depending on the track surface and temperature. What works at one place won't work at another. Sheesh!
