Of course. Skid pad diameter plays a part though. Not taking anything away from the tire.

Without the numbers, this is what I found when going to 14.5lb 17x7s with 215 R-S3s. The level grip is amazing. I need numbers on how much G load I'm pulling

If someone wanted to absolutely dominate a skid pad test (high speed high g) on a DOT / street tire, what should they be looking at for gear?

So response and feel can change based on tire pressure?

Very much so. The same tire as 32 psi and 36 psi will feel much different in response. In autocross where you make short jogs, you use high pressure before higher pressure tires tend to turn in better than lower as they have less surface resistance. But too high will sacrifice a lot of grip so it's a balance. Every tire compound is different. On road course where you build up a lot of heat, run lower pressure since more heat adds more pressure. I start at 30-32 on my RS3s on track vs 35-36 on autocross.

I don't put any faith into insideline 0-60 times or anything timed for that matter.
