Question is this for autocross purposes: If I'm running 24PSI hot and the
tread wear triangles are still not touched, should I go lower? My thought is that either: 1) lower pressure will improve the contact patch and more grip will improve my time. or 2) lower pressure will make slaloms slower by having more flex/lean in the car which will increase my time. Using Kumho V710 215/40/16 on a 7.5" rim on my narrow -6. 21mm torsion bars in front and 180 pound springs in the rear, because that's as high as I want to go and still be driving this thing on the street regularly. Appreciate any input. Mark S. |

Your car is very soft in the rear.
As far as pressures... On my orange RaceCar with the 2056 motor I ran V710 in 205x50x15 on 7" wheels.. I ran them 24psi hot. |
