    So you stretch the tire with air pressure to match the set. Now after a few passes (each pass) when the rollout changes, how do you adjust? Air pressure again?

    Horses for courses. Track, weather, power output. Both Goodyear and Hoosier really only have limited no of heat cycles before they have nothing. But both are very good tyres for the well heeled. This is applicable to drag, dirt, road racing. Some other brands have more heat cycles but probably are not quite as good initially. Of the two my preference is Hoosier but not by much. And that is dirt and road racing. But I am sure applicable to drags as well. And driving any race tyre on the street is both dangerous and making that tyre hard real quick!

    Thanks for the video. I have a question for you if I may. You said that you will bring the tire down to 6# but my question to you is how do you determine the correct tire pressure for your car? How do you know what you really need? I mean we get 6# but how do you determine if you need 7 1/2 instead, thanks.

    Use a tire pyrometer for setting tire pressure perfectly. Otherwise it's guess work by looking at the tire footprint and seeing how the car handles and how the tire wears
