Dave - I know that trackday regulars run these sorts of temp/s for the extra traction, but isn't there a danger in going too far below the specified pressures on the road? I always fret that if one was running, say 29 rear (which might easily slip down to 27/28 with a little inattention) on a tyre which Pirelli said should be run at 36+, then an accident investigator / insurance assessor might rule that at c.25% under the recommended pressure the tyres were 'under-inflated' or some such. It's a minefield...
