Track Advice Needed

lower pressures shold only be used on track tires (r-compound or similar) something designed with a stiff sidewall made for lower pressures.
if you know your tire pressure will grow (for example 8 psi) fill to about 9 psi below max rating cold.
just a saftey tip i've learned over the years.
