Just thought I'd let everyone know that the A032R is very sensitive to proper tire pressures. A week ago, I ran the first session at Road America with 30 psi all around, and the car felt like absolute dogsh*t. I was like, WTF??? The car wouldn't stick at all, and was almost uncontrollable in the corners. Before the next session, I pumped them up to Honda's recommended 35F/33R and it was just fine after that.

 

i used 40F/38R for circuit racing and it was amazing!!...i used 195/55R15...whenever it was told what to do, it would do it without question!...

 

Sounds pretty high. Were those measurements cold, or hot? Mine were when the tires were cold.

The A032R were 205/50-15.

that was the tyre pressure when cold and when warmed up they where around 46 Front and i cant remeber the rear but i would say in the 42 psi region!

have you tried the 195/55 R15 setup before?...how is the grip levels on the 205/50 15 setup?...worth the extra tyre diameter?

205/50-15

32F 34R COLD

Aim for 40 HOT all the way around.. worked very well for me.

 

hmmmm...from my tyre pressure cold it seemed to work pretty well.....hmmm....i will try different pressures next time and see how they react!

 

I have 195/55-15 on my street tires (stock RE010) but they don't make the A032R in that size.

I doubt that 10 mm of tread width is going to make all that much difference though.

 

Me 2

 

Amazing what you find if you look for it.

Thanks for the tire pressure tips.
I'll finally be trying out my 205/50/15's on my new 7.5 inch wide SSRs.
Just in time for the drive out to the expo, tracking days, and return drive to VA.

A032R 205/50/15
I have used= (cold pressures)
PR=36
DR=37
PF=38
DF=39

and:
PR=36
DR=38
PF=38
DF=39

These all depending on what the road course looks like.. how many right handers.. how many left handers? These are mostly on a dry track. I weigh in at about 210-215lbs. They are good starting points anyway, then you could adjust accordingly.

What are PR, DR, PF, DF?

 

Passenger front
Passenger rear
Driver front....etc

 

I usually put in 36F/34R(COLD) for my T1-S, 032, 038, 048, RA1 etc for track days. And goes higher when I go to auto-x. Tire size is 195/55R15.

Some ppl I know with 225/55R16(??) used 44F/40R (COLD) on their Subarus with 032 during last Sunday's auto-x event. But everyone lowered their tire pressure a bit during the afternoon when the ground gets hot in the afternoon.
