I asked for driving techniques and car set ups I didn't blame my car I did call it MY oversteer problem not MY CAR'S oversteer problem </TD></TR></TABLE>

and I think they stated pretty clear for driving technique

1) slow down
2) do to autox/track (for you own benefit)

drive fast + tons of oversteer != fast

chad what R compound tire do you recomend for the track? a032 are greasy above 38psi?</TD></TR></TABLE>

in my opinion all tires that i have tried (listed above) get greasey or go away above 38 psi....but that is my opinion....

ao32's are nice....i have set still on my rear with 5 races and 38000 miles....front ones are gone....were gone but i drove on them across the country and did fine...

r compounds....
i like victor racers
i like ecsta 700
i like toyo ra1

toyo's like to slide....have been able to save all my spins/drifts on toyo's....victors just get to a point and go away.....ecsta have been about the same as victor racers but do not roll over quite as much and so they then to break loose more frequently....

have tried a set of hoosiers but in all fairness they were 2 year olds and way beyond their life! so i will not comment on those...

No. They should be great right out of the box. Especially good in the rain when they are new. If they feel greasy try raising the pressure.

Todd00 what pressure do you run in your Azenis?

personally i would never run over 34 in any tire.....on track conditions i start at 28 so tires end up at about 36-38...they get way to greasy over 38....

and on the street NO WAY IN THE world i would go with 40....</TD></TR></TABLE>

well right now i'm running them at 32psi as sugested by chad and I think they're at a good level I had um at 40psi before and I didn't notice a big difference then again I haven't been to autox with these tires yet just local ...........umm let's just say local would you sugest I raise the psi to higher than 40psi or maybe higher than my currect 32psi? what happens if I run um at 50psi?!?

The last time I was on the track I tried my Azenis at 28 front 26 rear cold. When I came off the track they were up almost 10 psi all the way around. That was the best I have felt my car on the Azenis so far and the fastest lap times turned as well. The car also was weight 2400 with me in it that day!!! I ate too much for breakfast
