Reply With QuoteAlso depends on tyres but as Rory has said, what you gain in steering feel you loose in mechanical grip.
Neither did the other 2 cars we tested it on at PI, 2 seconds difference running 36 hot. Mind you, turning corners at about 180 you'd want lower pressureOriginally Posted by gmonkey
i find front sticks fine, rear being higher pressure gives it a little bit more slide. remember i dont have a RARB

Falken for sure!!
I'm assuming the R8 wheels are reps... What's the size and weight of them?

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
im running achilles now... yep terrible grip worse than a chinese tyre i got with the wheels (yep that bad)
