Drew, will you be bringing these items to Brooksville? I'll be picking up the trailer Friday afternoon so if you plan on bringing them to the trailer please do it before that.

Tires look okay for now. They're still very fresh-looking as far as the condition of the rubber, they just have a lot of cupping and wear on the outer edges from under-inflation. Pressures are at 40 psi cold today, so we're in good shape.
Just so our tow-ers are aware, I'm pretty sure they should probably be at 50 or 60psi cold, I want to say 50 but check the sidewall.

We checked the side wall when a whopping 40psi popped up on the first tire. The tires are 50 max PSI. Even the spare was sitting pretty at 40psi.

Yeah, 40 cold. Probably 45ish warm.

I'd say our rule should be:
- no less than 40 psi cold
- 45-55 psi warm

Suck Less - Drive something resembling a proper racing line.
