Warning (Continued)
can put additional strain on the
tires and can cause a sudden
failure. Make sure the tires are in
excellent condition, and use the
correct cold tire inflation pressure
for the vehicle load and track/
course.
Warning
Tracks/courses put high loads on
tires operating at high speed,
which can lead to tire failure if not
inflated properly. Always limit
vehicle cargo to the driver plus
one passenger with no additional
cargo.
Warning
Track/course loads wear tires
both on the tread and internal to
the tire. When driven in track/
course conditions, even if tread is
not worn down to the treadwear
indicator, tires must be replaced
after the equivalent of two tanks
of fuel or approximately 160 km
(100 mi).
Tire Inflation Pressure for Tracks
with Sustained High-Speed
Operation on Banked Turns
(e.g., Daytona International
Speedway, Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, or similar)
Inflate tires to a minimum of 300 kPa
(44 psi) when cold.
Do not reduce tire inflation pressure
when hot.
Tire Inflation Pressure for Tracks
with Combined High-Speed and
High-Load Corners
(e.g., Nurburgring Nordschliefe, Spa
Francorchamps, or similar)
Driving and Operating
Inflate tires to a minimum of 260 kPa
(38 psi) when cold.
Limit vehicle speed to below
230 km/h (143 mph) until 290 kPa
(42 psi) is reached.
For continuous track use, hot tire
inflation pressure may be adjusted
to a minimum of 290 kPa (42 psi).
Tire Inflation Pressure for Road/
Street Courses
(e.g., Virginia International
Raceway, Road Atlanta, or similar)
Inflate tires to a minimum of 240 kPa
(35 psi) cold.
For continuous road/street course
use, hot tire inflation pressure may
be adjusted to a minimum of
270 kPa (39 psi).
Return the tires to the
recommended cold tire inflation
pressure when high-speed driving
has ended. See Vehicle Load Limits
0 187 and Tire Pressure 0 286.
