Carl people have told you to lower tire pressures cause you are burning out your LEFT tire too much. LOL :) Back once again like a renegade master |

Ok so searched for this and found sarcasm.. haha funny but didnt find the answer.. what are best pressures for the strip ( for 13's ) and is it best to stiffen the rear shocks at all? On 24th Oct, 2015 jonny f said:

I find it takes a lot of playing with, as too hard and is not that good,, but To soft and it gives lots of drag. I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Get a remote temp gauge off the bay (about £15) and do some burn outs checking tyre temp across the tread after each one. Lower temp in the middle means tyre is under inflated and vice versa. Set tyre press. accordingly. Run the non driven tyres at the highest press. You can. 'Where does the engine go?' |

it depends on the tyre, on road tyres I found higher pressures worked best 35+psi. going softer left two lines where the outside of the tyre made contact during a burnout, higher, left a fat line. also found on norml road tyres a burnout slowed down my launch. this is all at crail btw which is just an untreated concrete runway and totally different to a prepared track. proper drag tyres I had to run down to about 7psi to get them to work properly, totally different beasts. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)
