How much do you guys offset tire pressure front to rear to reduce slip angle?
I know you can keep the tire pressure in front higher than inthe rear to help reduce slip angle, but what kind of difference works the best. If anyone knows what approximate psi's to try in an all stock setup that would be great.
Thanks
Thanks
ummm people actually do that on the street?
You gotta be kidding.
It depends on about 5495786290856 things. The surface you're on, the tires on the car, the suspension, the alignment, how loose/tight you want the car, the kind of driving you're going to do, just how well you can drive the car and the remaining 5495786290849 reasons.
I just can't believe people try to set their car up to run at the limit on the street.
The right way to do it is with a pyrometer.... even temps across the treadblock.
Ghetto is to mark the tires with shoepolish and check for rollover. I guarantee you it'll be enough pressure you won't want to drive on it all the time.
BTW... if you run the tires higher in the front than the back, the car will be less inclined to turn. But then again, I guess its better you're trying to run the car that way vs. hyperinflating the rears.

This is one of those molehill into a mountain things. I have the oe tires still, they slip on EVERYTHING, dry, wet, snow, did I say dry. I enjoy a spirited drive as much as the next guy, I just want to limit front tire slippage and help increase the ease of rotation a little. I think this can be done with just a few pounds difference, but was hoping someone had already done it. Guess I will have to just try some different psi's.
i don't know...i found the ep is fairly easy to rotate if i'm a bit more abrupt while LFB. the car is so front heavy, that loading the front suddenly floats the rear.
iincreased the track *slightly* in the rear for a little more predictability while doing this.
i use wide all-seasons and the sidewalls aren't r-comp stiff by any means, so the angle can feel pretty large. i guess it would better for you to ask about this based on your tires, sizing, and typical surface.
if you want more predictable rotation, use a little larger rear sway and practice your LFB technique. it may also help to get acquainted with the trail-braking characteristic of your particular configuration, too.
it's always better to improve through your technique than through your equipment.
