Time difference various tyre compounds

I’m wondering if your pressures are too high perhaps.

This is the thing though - I set them as high as I can without overheating, my tyres rarely go over 90, so perhaps under-pressured? Bahrain though I’m running all 1 notch from the max pressure available IIRC. Perhaps I can do a race with them as they are and another with them on max, track on telemetry app. Perhaps this can give me a better indication.

@Monzstar83So even though it shows green it can already be losing considerable grip, the tyre indications are not the best..

Just a little help for you:

Perfect surface grip:85-115° 5° below costs 1.8% grip, 5° above costs 3.75% grip, i think 120° still shows as green though its almost 4% down on grip

Perfect carcass grip: 85-100° 4° below costs 2% grip, 4° above costs 4% grip so even 103° is only 97% grip anymore but still showing green

So even though it might show green you could be down by 7% grip which is a big deal but at least to me those high surface temps only happen on the front but going a little too quick on throttle might have same effect on rears

@Meza994 thank you - some really useful info there 

It sounds like my carcass temps are probably bang in the window, but maybe I’m having issues with surface. Will track using a telemetry app and see
