Blowing out tyres on KY National

[0Zero0]

Can anyone give some advice on either setup or driving style to help me stop blowing tyres on this track!! I find it very hard to get under 1:45 and getting there regularly leads to popped front lefts....what can i do? am i breaking to hard? But how can I go fast with out late breaking into those right hand corners???? HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

what car were you driving? and how many laps until the tyre was popped?

Are you locking the brakes? Fix that!
"tweaky tweak" the brake balance and brake power so that you can brake without locking up.

Sounds like you're braking too hard and locking up the wheels, causing the tires to flatspot. This generates lots of heat and wear on one particular spot on the tire and is generally the single cause of premature blowouts. You could try easing off the brake pedal a bit. Another thing to try is reduce the brake pressure and change the brake balance in the garage. Be aware that the brake balance is extremely sensitive and a single percent forward or back can have a major effect on the car's balance under braking.

my tires used to blow on the same corner on the same lap of every race at AS national, but now i brake sooner, use less engine braking, and take a bit more control into the corner to avoid tire squealing
