So i see the talk is about q3 again so let me share this with you guys. Many of you know i love the q3 highly recommend the q3 did all the comparisons. this email which i have copied came directly from dunlop. so all the questions can stop about tire warmers and what pressure you should use. this is for track riding youre welcome.
Below info is from our test rider .........
The best and easiest way to set your tire pressure is to start at 33psi cold front and 31psi rear, do a track session, then as soon as you come off the track, check your pressures and adjust them to 35 front and 34 rear for the Q3s. Don't be worried to try +-2psi depending on how polished or corse the track surface is. Lower psi for more polished tracks and higher psi for more course tracks.
One of the main reasons the Q3 is so outstanding in the wet is because they heat up so quickly, there is zero benefit to using tire warmers, your out lap should always be a sighting lap anyway! The only time I would ever waste the extra time and effort with warmers would be on the first morning session if it was very very cold out ((40f), but in that case the entire session would be a sighting session and not much fun!
