tire pressure for racing twisties?
I was wondering if you guys adjust tire pressure as the weather changes? Checking the pressure "cold" during the summer and checking again now (winter) give you different readings!!

What tire pressure you use also depends on if you have a larger rear sway-bar or not. After getting my 17 wheel and tire package with Yokohama ES100s I was surprised by how much extra body roll I had.
I hate body roll, so I’m going to have to turn the sway-bar up to maximum. So I need to balance it all out with the right tire pressure, as soon as I find out what that is.
I don’t know, should I get a larger front sway-bar to get the right balance?
