Question, do you have any trouble getting grip in super super smooth asphalt venues? I'm experiencing a little under-steer or lack of front end grip with this setup in just ONE of my three venues? other two venues I'm fine. This venue has a slippery super smooth newly sealed asphalt. In this venue, would you soften the front koni a bit or stiffen even more to 80-85%? |
I think our setups are very similar. I have 275/35-19 RE-71R too and Koni's and Eibach front sway full stiff. I just got back from the Utah Match Tour in Farmington, UT. It was a new location I guess and it has new asphalt. I was only able to place 4th on the first day and missed out on the shootout. However I got randomly drawn into the bonus shootout and finished 2nd there. In regards to your comment I noticed these tires weren't fans of the afternoon heat which was hovering around 100 degrees, I'm not sure what the surface temp was. Traction dissipated and the surface was slick almost grease like. I think they're awesome tires and they're wearing quite nicely. I have 24 runs on mine and probably 200 miles of actual street use on them. They have this weird 45 degree wear thing going on though which I guess is normal because other local drivers are experiencing the same. Still good amount of meat left.
