Here are the Burris sprint tire set up instructions & suggestions.
- Proper mounting and balancing is critical to the performance and consistency of your tires. We recommend viewing the Burris Racing Tech Shop detailed mounting recommendations.
- Set the initial running pressures at 12-14 psi in the front and 14-16 psi for the rears.
- It is our opinion that scuffing the tires is a good practice. The first time out on new tires you should run the kart at 80 to 90% speed for about 8 to 10 laps but don’t let it slide or get loose. When you come in, reset your pressures, check your stagger and let the tires cool. This heat cycle lets the diameters stabilize and the compound to finish curing.
- Typically when our tires are mounted on a kart that has run Bridgestone’s the balance can be a little biased to the rear so you may have to increase the nose weight by 1-2% to keep the kart from getting tight. You may also want to experiment with positive camber to get even wear across the tread surface. We have also found that in certain situations our tire respond better (with the higher tire pressures) if the rear track is narrowed up 1” to 2”.
- Once the minor adjustments are made to suit our tires they have good wear and performance and are very consistent.
