[Fot] Racing tire pressure

[Bill Babcock]

It would depend on how the car is sprung and how the suspension is  
set up, but it's fairly common for production based cars to work best  
with a little more rear tire pressure than front. Especially if you  
are running radial tires. If only because you can add a little camber  
in the front, but not so easy to do that in the back (not impossible,  
just not easy).
