front pressure - cold 29psi ; hot of the track 31
rear pressure -cold 28 ; hot of the track 30/31
haven't used them for street purposes [BT 016 were my choice for that] . the 003RS is a great tire for beginner/ intermediate track day purposes - good feel/ grip/ longevity. [the grips obviously don't match a DOT/ slick "race" tire especially at high temps / very fast pace ]
the front grip / feel is good for my pace. gentle / graded turn-in characteristic but tracks the corner very well [and is confidence inspiring]
the rear grip is also very good [except for very hot days / track temp when it can get slightly greasy] . good edge grip levels / predictable slides.
a front lasts at least 6-7 days depending on the track and the rear lasts 4-5 days. warms up very quickly in a lap or so[ i don't use warmers ]
haven't used it in the wet and so can't comment on it [so I've rated it as middle of the road average]
all in all > excellent tires for the price.
Yes, I recommend this product.

sizing question..

hello,
I'm a Male trackday rider/ racer interested in a one piece race suit from Rev'it.
I have a few questions..
1] what are the significant differences btwn the Victory and the Tarmac suit ?
2] I wear a size 40 in teknic Speedstar suit [i'm told that it runs a size small -it fits real snug like a 2nd skin which is how I like it ] - what's the equivalent of the suit in Rev'it when it comes to sizing and fit?
3] between the tarmac and the victory which one has a more narrow waist and compares well with teknic in sizing dimensions? [I was looking at the sizing charts and the waist does seem larger at comparable shoulder / hip sizes -and i'd like one which is more narrow so that it fits better ]

thanks in advance
