I just put the tires on my stock steel wheels on the car and ran it very hard out in the back roads today. Really nice upgrade. The turns that usually howl and squeal are now quiet and tight. Used to run Yokohama YK 420's.

The steering is especially responsive, too.

For $87 each, mounted, out the door I'm happy and ready to get nuts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I'm currently running at 35 psi. I wonder how 32 would feel?

Someday... I'll put the tires on a lighter wheel.

I ran my first ever AX back on June 23rd. I had mine set to 30 psi cold with Konis set to full hard on front and full soft rear on my first 2 runs. My lack of driving skils and this combo caused the rear end to break loose on hard turns.

My next 2 runs no tire pressure change but set the koni's to 3 turns past soft on front and full soft on rear. My time got better by 3 seconds.

My last 2 runs again no tire pressure change and all koin's set to full soft, dropped another 2 sec of my time (I guess my driving skills improved (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )

Did two fun runs at 34 psi, front koni's 2 turns past soft and the rear 1 turn past soft and had my best time's of the day. So what does this mean?????
Nothing , I don't know what the F I'm doing but it was fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think for my next AX I will set the tire pressure to 32 cold, and leave the front koni's set at 2 turns past soft and leave the rear at full soft and learn to drive the car that way.
