How Do I Minimize the Oversteer?

OK, I need to hijack this thread a little! Sorry!

How do I minimize the oversteer with my car? I definetely don't have understeer. I notice the oversteer even more in the "Sport" mode with sport chrono (as expected).

I am running 32 psi front and 36 psi (down from 37) in the rears on 19" Michellin PS2's. The tires are run-in with about 2,100 miles.

Thanks for the advice!

Try dropping a pound or two out of the rears...

Hi,

The 19's tend to magnify it as well...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I dropped another 1 psi today, and I feel the car is more "sticky". I think the warmer temps are helping too...road surfaces are warmer...and I get a little more bite!

THANKS for the advice.

As a side note, it is amazing how little 1 psi is in the 19" wheels! One little blip of the air gage (digital) and a 1/2 pounds comes out of the tire.
