Ok.... this is on the track

If the car understeers and the front tyres overheat should i drop down pressures or raising it up? It's RT215 and running 34 front 32 rear hot

Raise your front tire pressure a bit more! - Could also be your driving style.

ill raise the pressure to like 36-38 hot..

how do u know your tyre temperature is too hot? is it becuase it goes off

rt215 are a proper semis slick.. justr a really sticky road tyre...

you running adjustable shocks.? either drop the front or raise the real depending on track

Just my 2 cents

wat u want if ur car understeer is more grip in the front. Soften the damper in the front and stiffen the rear. Raise tire pressure in the rear and keep the same or lower tire pressure for front. That is the general rule if ur understeering. Also make sure u get a wheel alignment before going to the track, if really helps with cornering.

Benson. He said that his front tyres are overheating, therefore going off. This is causing him to understeer.

If they are overheating he needs to increase pressure to decrease flex of tyre. Decreased flex in the tyre decreases tyre temp.

If the car understeers, use a higher rear tyre pressure.

Please try increasing your rear tyre pressure to be the same or a little more than the front. Your rear tyre pressure is too low and thats why there is heaps of understeer.
