Almost all tire compounds (street legal and racing slicks) are working well at temperatures between 145 & 185 degrees Fahrenheit. We see 175F as the most common operating temperature, but it certainly depends on your form of motorsport. Just because you are sweating and hot doesn’t mean your tires are hot. Some qualifying tires need to be as hot as 210 F.
