You will get tyre flex at lean angles and under power,looking at pic you were getting both,looks to me as tho you were applying the old gogo stick!!

You should of cheacked the pressure as soon as you got back in the garage mate. You should be looking at approx 35psi at working temp.

Maybe it was too soft and you werent getting enough heat into them to get upto working temp psi.

Defo dont look a normal amount of flex though.

It didn't feel soft on track but on the ride home it felt wallowy really pants still grippy but not giving the usual feel...

on track didn't miss a beat really...

only reason I say his gauge might be off I check my rear before I went out and it said 30 I thought thats strange I pumped that up to 36/38 on the road

then when I checked the front I let some out check it and it said 31 I let more out and then it said 29 so I pumped it up to what looked like 30 on the foot pump and then had to keep checking it took alot of air and had to check it 4 times after pumping it up  :shock:

got there in the end  :icon_thumright:

oh and the think felt like it was falling apart too  [rofl] [rofl] [rofl]
