Question 04 STI stock wheel/tires- Track pressures

I have become very happy with an 8 PSI stagger ie 38/30 on the street. Being that vehicle is usually empty, handling is satisfactory all the way down to 36/28. What would you recommend for a track day at LRP?

at the current pressures you are running does the car understeer or oversteer

I was at LRP in my SRT-4 and can tell you that the left front tire WILL get torn up because 99% of the track is all right hand turns. There is only one left hander.

If you've not been there before you will absolutely want to run the rears lower to get the car to rotate.

On my SRT-4, mind you it's FWD, I had the fronts at 37 and the rears at 34. That made the car finally start to rotate a little and got rid of some of the understeer, but not all. You may also want to talk to guys there that have track experience on LRP. For being 1.52 miles it's a blast.
