Berget tires.

1st class. I have been buying tires off and on from John for over 10 years. Never an issue. On one occasion I had one bad tire and John just sent me another one.

tire temps

Agree with Bill.
I would double check your front camber settings.
Hoosier R7's should definitely be started (cold) at lower temps. Around 26PSI, and possibly lower once you get good temp readings...
