You should only have about a 7-8 pounds build up of air pressure in the tire.... and I would want the tires to come in at about 35-38 pounds....

With IRS you can run alot more camber.....-2.5 to -3 neg camber and pressure will be somewhat lower....

Radial tires love neg camber.....

Also .... you should scrub in the tires.... don't let anybody else do a heat cycle for you.

15 - 20 min sessions are perfect for doing tire scrubbing in and getting a heat cycle in them...

The tire are the best when you go out on them the very first time.... but they won't last long..... they will over heat and go away.... Once you scrub the tires in.... let them cure over night or 24 hrs if possible..... they are good for the race and one more practice session.... then they will start going away...

Once you get the nitrogen in the tires .... you'll start to see the real tire temps..... with the tires blowing up with air.... they will never be flat on the ground....
