With new Kumhos & 250# rear springs, once again I'll be going out onto an AX course driving a "new" car (which I haven't learned to drive yet). Someday the mods & changes will stop (right?).

I know that driving style, car setup, etc. all affect tire pressures, but, for those of you that are experienced with Kumho Victoracers, what air pressures have you found to work for our cars (go in a higher or lower direction)?

The Kumho instructions aren't real clear. They give a 35-40# pressure range and then go on to say if your car is light & well balanced, you may want to use LOWER settings. Do they mean 35# instead of 40#? Or do they mean to go LOWER than 35# - like maybe 30-32#????

The 250# springs, finally, seem to be helping the car to rotate nicely in turns. Anymore rotation could easily end up becoming 180 degrees of rotation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
