Dave,

My hot temps that I have found to work nicely with Kumho Ecsta MX 17's are 40 front and 37 rear. I have 225's in the fron tthough, not 215's.

I had the MX's (225/255 on 17's) at 36/35 psi hot. They seemed to get greasy at 38/37 psi though they felt great otherwise. They didn't take the abuse too well though.

This was with the Saner front bar and rearward biased spring rates.

Looks like the MX's like a lower pressure than what I am use to running at.

This was at BW and TH. I haven't used MX's for a long time.

Since I don't show up to SV events, does it mean I am not getting to the track?
