Are my tires over-inflated ?
Also, looks like U of I and Northwestern got beat up pretty bad yesterday
At least the Bears are beating the snot out of the Packers
Did you get my PM about AutoX next weekend ?

Hey Nick:
I think your tires sound like they are over inflated. I think you should run them closer to the owner's manual pressures, and then make 1/2 pound to 1 pound adjustments at your next AutoX event, and dial the car in for the best balance between over-steer & under-steer.
Also do an "advance search" for this topic with MNBoxster at the poster. He listed a pretty interesting formula for tire pressures. If I find it, I'll post it again soon.
Yes, Illinois and Northwestern looked aweful yesterday. But, I like it when the Wildcats get beat. It uspets by father-inlaw and brother-inlaw....and that is very enjoyable to watch. I just wish the Irish got beat too!
No autoX for me next week. Too many Octoberfest Parties on the family schedule...2 in 3 days!
