Conventional wisdom is that it's safer for the average Boxster driver to have a car that pushes versus one that's loose. Yes, I live in NASCAR country.

That make sense, that the car should push, rather than oversteer, but with lower tire pressure in the front, it seems to induce oversteer. Once I increased the pressure in the front, the oversteer went away.

You especially don't want to oversteer when you get off the throttle, since this is the typical panic reaction that people have when they get into a corner too hot.
