First of all, great picture. Thanks for posting it.

Everyone is talking about tire pressures. What about temps? I'm sure you guys have covered it before, but which one should I be more concerned about, the hot pressure or the hot temp?

Only if we're talking about tire pressure. I run A6's on both my C4 and my miata.

so your 2000# miata will generate as much heat, from a cold starting point, sliding around as my 3200# c5?

So you're thinking the same principles don't apply?

BUT............. Moving on, neat pics of the sidewall deflection. Is there a rating on sidewall stiffness?
