Reversed stagger tyre setup
Hi guys,
I'm trying the following on my otherwise stock 86:
Stock Primacy HP 215/45R17 tyres at the back, 225/45/R17 Pilot Sport 3's in front. (I had to replace 2 primacy's after a the last track day)
Rolling diameter only differs by 1.4%, but so far the front grip has improved tremendously, making-round abouts a lot more fun during my daily commute. I do seem to get some extra interference from TC when turned off and not doing the pedal dance.
Obviously I'm not chasing absolute lap times, just enjoying the car as DD and track toy.
I tried searching this, minimal results. Am I missing something as a lot of people complain about understeer? The setup above should cure this, as well as not adding any weight to the rear rolling mass. More extreme would be to go to 205/50R17 at the rear to reduce grip further, rolling diameter will still be the same.
