Here is a little comparison of understeer vs neutral balance in just one turn. Definitely shows the importance of not plowing!

You'll see there is a little triangle on the sidewall pointing towards the edge of the tread.

A better way to judge pressures is to measure tire temperatures across the tread with a pyrometer.

Maybe it's because I don't have the sway bar, but I can't run anything less than 37psi without rolling over. Also the car felt sloppy without enough prssure

Yeah, the sways might make the difference. They make a really profound change in vehicle dynamics.

Nice job Alex! I knew you would like those tires.

Great job, man! Love the Re-11s... I wish they had a few more size options for my car, they are a fantastic tire!
