Hello Stuart,
The following web link is to a page provided by Roger Kraus Racings, he
has a well known tire and car setup business in Castro Valley, CA. The
link is to a tech sheet that has information (including tire pressure
adjustments) on how to adjust a car with understeer (and oversteer) that
you might find interesting.
