I run 888's too. 36 hot is what you want. I settled on 35 front 36 rear. I was runnign 38 rear and the center of the tire was wearing out and the tire was a little slippery. When I dropped to 36 rear I picked up grip and better wear.

Also 888's like around -2 to -2.8 front camber....anything less and you will wear the outside corner pretty fast on these R-Comp tires.

I see you are in Augusta. Are you running Robeling?

What was the weather temp during your last DE when you used the PS2's?

If you increased the tire psi by 10...which is absolutly normal, and the outside air temp was very hot I would recomend you start out at 26psi on the R888's....however seeing that this is a cold winter and the track temp will be cold you might want to start out at 30psi for the 1st session and bleed from there as the day warms up.

Ok you will need to start out at 30 if you are seeing a 6psi gain. When the 888's get over 39 psi they will slide easier. I like to keep my hot psi at 36.
