Also going to have to work on that body positioning.

Power one commercial tire, not the race DOT don't let that fool you . I ran the 003rs and the 003 pros. They were OK. I am currently running the Michelin power cups and will only run those. btw I crashed on the 003rs, I had no feel out of it.

Track was a bit slick on Saturday from a fresh coat of new sealant. Race line got stickier as the day went on. I was experiencing some slip in the morning (as was everyone) but it felt very controllable and predictable. Tire wasn't breaking loose quickly and gave good warning.

Tires were pretty much up to temp after two laps. Once the track started to sticky up a bit I was running much faster than I was on the 2ct's. Seemed to be a little more confidence inspiring than the 2ct for me anyways. Pressures were 29/26 cold.

Washed the front the last session of the day but that was 100% rider error.

Overall I really like the tire. For cost/performance it seems to be a great tire and definitely exceeds my ability.

Rear pressure is too low. you are over heating the tire. Raise the pressure on the back to 27-28 and the front should be around 30

I'll give that a shot next time. Thanks!

what do u recommend for cold/hot pressures for the B'stone S20's @ the track Tommy? For streets, I run 35/36 F/R cold.

For the street switch those numbers around the rear should always be lower. For the track, try 29r and 31f the Bridgestones do like a little more air because they should heat up faster.
