Default How do you guys check how much roll onto sidewall there is on track day/auto x ?

Just check for how much rubbing/scuffing there is on the sidewall ? What is this I heard about chalking the sidewall? Do you then just look for how much of the chalk has rubbed off?

How much roll onto the sidewall is ok?

Use the good old chalk method.

Chalk is better because you know when it gets rubbed off and it leaves a clear, fresh line at the point of roll over. That and you can keep reapplying it as you play with the psi.
Have fun and be safe.
