The 40f/28r tire pressure that Lee is using is almost the same ratio as the 60f/40r weight distribution of the car, so it makes sense that the front and rear tires should have the same loaded radius when at these pressures. I don't think his rear tires are going to run any hotter than the front tires.

I will be curious to see how the rolling circumfrence of Lee's front and rear tires compares at these pressures. Lee, I think you're going to need to roll the wheels through much more than 10 revolutions if you want to measure the difference in front and rear rolling circumfrence with any sort of accuracy. I think you're going to have to drive the car for about 1/2 mile.
