i have searched the forum and the net and everything is highyly conflicting.


i suffered alot of understeer at brands hatch, and tryed the whole tyre pressure thing to not much avail.

the whole internet says to reduce understeer you should Have Higher pressure up front and lower Rears.

this forum says the opposite,
at brands i tryed 32 front 34rear to no avail,
followed by softening front shocks only to help a tiny bit.

what is the FACTS about tyre pressures relating to underster in FFWD cars?
and eliminating understeer.

Tyre pressures wont be your main issue buddy, you are still running a fundamentall6y road biwsed suspension setup, that promotes roll and that forces your tyres into assuming an incorrect angle with relation to the tarmac, was it the main right hander onto the main straight? I suffered badly there too but and wanted an LSD to help pull me round. However I havent been back since ive done the coilies, negative camber, 30mm ARB, solid mounts, seamwelded subframe, cage etc. But until you can get your car turning flatter and keep the tyres firmly in contact with the ground you will struggle to get the best from them. For reference I found most grip out of my R888s by running at around 36 psi (hot) although they did wear fast they were much more grippy and responsive than when I was in the high twenties as suggested by a racer. Horses for corses though mate and you need to sort oput a few other things before you can maximise grip from your tyres.

i still reckon it something to do with your suspension set up,the rear to stiff for the front or the other way round? i had very little understeer with mine more four whell drifting

are the Hankooks track or road tyres?

and is that a hot or cold pressure? I ran mine 28-30 cold, aiming for a 32 ish hot.

on AO48's on a 205 we start with 26 looking to about 32 hot IIRC.

do you have an uprated rear ARB?


might be driving style tbh!

Do you have capability to stiffen the rear anti-roll bar and unload the inside rear a bit more? How much trail braking were you using?

i was not using any tailbraking. i am going to be fitting a stiffer rear ARB very soon hopefully , and i am thinking of removing the front ARB, or fitting a Thinner one.

I have found mine to be a lot better since I fitted my 21mm torsion bars and my 28mm ARB, I find it either four wheel drifts or oversteers a tad, although I can induce understeer getting on the gas a bit early, I have relatively soft-ish shocks though -bilstein b4's on the front and standard on the rear, although i do have Rich's roller bearing wishbone bushes

Ricky, I do indeed still have the usable R888's

I would try and get some Yokos too if you have enough spare wheels, they are much stiffer.

Also, don't forget that if you're understeering badly for a few corners, your tires are going to overheat, start to melt and the problem is going to get lots worse. I found Toyos used to melt quite easily, Eagle F1s were much better.

However, crucially, if you can adjust your driving style so that you're understeering less you'll find the tyres will be better giving you more grip and helping you even more- making you faster and less frustrated

I found brands to be particularly bad for understeer issues- especially the far hairpin and spent a lot of time trying to adjust my line but never really got it perfect.

i think i will take up some of that instruction jeffers, especially as its free

and adam yeah i did have mismatched suspension, but i changed to koni adjustables all round now.

the hankook tyres havent been too bad to be honest , well when they were on the rear anyway.

still no where near as good as the Goodrich g profilers though
