Most certainly. Feedback is the key and tire mgmt is definitely part of this. For us mere mortals, developing methods to our madness with cycles, temp monitoring and pressures correlated to the “feeling” [positive feedback] and your own performance makes you a better, safer rider on track. You learn what you have in turn make better on track decisions with what you think is left to optimize your performance and eek out the most from your tire. When you get back to paddock and look at your wear, check pressures and temp. You learn.It always amazes me how you can feel it with new tires and suddenly the bikes talking to you and you can literally "feel" right into the contact patch. The trick is to maintain that sensitivity as they wear, I guess thats one reason why the pros are so good.
When they say warmers are the best insurance , it’s true!
but it’s really more about the rider fine tuning their feedback loop with feel. Surgeon to his scalpel
