Tire Air Pressure Adjustment

[SUN RA KAT]

I found out my tires were 29 psi front and 30 psi rear 2 days ago and I adjusted the air pressure today before driving it to 29 psi on the rears to match the fronts. It made a nice improvement in handling - no more twitchiness going through curves. It's amazing how little things can make a noticable difference to a street driven car and I was not going through the curves much faster than a normal car.

I don't know why Todd's calling BS, but I agree with you guys. Tire pressure can make a big difference. Particularly at the track.

 

[toddt]

oh come one guys--I'm really smiling here...but 1 psi in the REARS?

I still call BS for sure.

C-ya!!

I think it's more psycological. Like those guys who swear they can feel 5HP. You feeeeeel it if you WANT to feel it..

At the track or an autocross course, I can feel 1 PSI difference. Don't think I would notice on the street though.

Maybe not on the street, but on the track 1psi is definitly noticable!
