Right , car is lowered 60 mm on 15s but that doesnt really matter a great deal, there always seems to be a debate about this so i thought it would be good if it was cleared up once and for all..

So if a car has more PSI in the back than the front will it over steer or understeer and vice versa, my front end is all over the place and currently i think i hae 32 front 29 rear, not 100% sure bu i think its something along those lines.

Thanks Rob

should all your tyres not be the correct psi if your tyre is under inflated it will cause it to get warmer faster and your tyre could end up damaged or seriously worn

i would chech on the tyre wall to see what psi it reccommends and i would have em all at the same psi

my steering goes nice and light when i put air into me front tyres makes the front end feel like a sack of feathers

32 on the front, 29-30 on the back. extra weight over front wheels will squash tyres down more, you need to keep every tyre the same when it comes to tyre footprints for best handling
