OFFICE MEMO TIRE PRESSURES Date:2/8/91
I agree with preceeding statements, that the really important thing is the
pressure differential between front and rear. We usually want the front to be
a "stickier" than the rear, so that in a hard turn, the rear will break loose
first ( oversteer ).
Another thing I've heard, is that the pressure is right when the difference
between the COLD pressure and the HOT pressure is about 4 PSI.
If the difference is greater, the absolute pressure is too low. Is this true?
I read it in an article about motorcycles. Maybe it applies to cars too?
