I would say it depends on type of tire some tires do best with 45 50 psi and most suck ass at 30 to 32 because of slip angle unless you running low profile tire but 60 series is going to flex like a mofo on the front at 30 psi

you need to buy better tires then I use low profile in the front so there is no sidewall flex so I know what its going to do based on the feedback it gives

Yeah it sucks because they cost more but the lower profile front tires do make a pretty big difference

well spend the money on fixing that stuff and then buy the tires already. (also it would help the car drift right if it had good low profile tires on the front)

that must be why i was unndersteering so much at the event and getting indersteer doing controlled donuts at the meet i was running 32 psi on 60's or 55's i think plus i had some chunks missing and the sides of the tires were wearing out.

I use to run Azenis RT215s in the front and garbage in the back, back in the day. Alot more control and feed back.
