I was going to get some VRacers for non-competitive track duty to replace my aging 710's, but Hoosier still has their R3S05 and A3S05's on sale for $131 each (205/50/15) with FREE SHIPPING. so it was a no brainer. I've run R3S03's and A3S04's before, but not these R-05's. anyone have a starting point on pressures for me?
205/50's on 15x6.5" wheels, <2000lbs, 115-120hp or so, 225# rear springs, 22mm torsion bars, 22mm front sway set med-soft, rear bar disconnected... |

I run 225x45x15 all around - usually start my 04's at 31-33 front and 34-35 rear depending on air temps (am vs pm). Car feels more predictable with ~ 3lb differential. Have not tried going with more pressure up front out of fear of oversteer. Car is already a bit tail-happy. Dan Thompson will attest. Car weighs ~2100 lbs, with ~200 hp, 250 rear spring on 8" rims in rear. Have found consistently at or above 40lbs hot it gets slippery out back. Hope that helps. At the price you paid I think I may buy the close out model too. Good $$ deal !
