Default nt01 shredding at mid ohio

removing my nt01 tires on sunday showed some tire shredding on the left side front and rear

mike thought it might be over inflation but i was running them at 34/35psi hot

in fact, start pressures were as low as 26psi, which i was thinking was too low

the right side was fine

i did not perceive and 'extra' traction issues beyond the wet track on the nt01s

i did run the pss, pilot super sport, tires sunday afternoon, and the pressures did get too high last session because i started too high, like 32psi, the temp went up to over 80 degrees and the tire pressure got over 40psi (tpms which indicates low) - needless to say i ended my last session early as i was loosing grip

lesson learned

on the way home the pss went down to 31psi by tpms, which would gauge out at about 33psi

any thoughts on what is going on with the nt01s?

i was searching the net and found reference to other people having shredding at mid ohio - due to odd track conditions / setup
