Son, The tire pressure that was recommended was correct - 45-50 psi is good for street tires at an autocross. If you weren't smooth and thus plowing like a farmer, that would explain the chunking. If you rolled an inch onto the sidewalls, you were going into the turns WAY TO HOT and plowing like mad - this would have happened regardless of your tire selection. Next time try more negative camber and slow down - the old adage is "slow down and you'll go faster"
Driving on a race track is much easier on tires b/c they aren't being used to the maximum of their cornering ability throughout the duration of each run. Also, the higher speeds let the tires slide a bit more, thus transfering more of the wear to the center of the tire than to just the edge. BTW, Chunk King is Chinese food <g> > Son, the chunk king :-) ===== Matthew Yip [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/mgyip/ '87 GTi 16v - x2 '88 M5 '99 F350 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
