[Turbo]

First- thank you ALL so much for your help and input. I really do appreciate it.


Other than the small pressure adjustment after session 3, I was running the EXACT same cold pressures I did the last 3 times I was at this track. On those days, I was seeing 34-35 psi hot all around - but running in the 1:19's/1:20's. Never saw anything near 39 psi before. But I also haven't been this fast before. I will say I was cautious getting up to speed as I was driving the car after the pedal dance on ALL runs, so no driver aids at all.

Given this car doesn't really get driven on the street, I had just left the pressures where they are when I leave the track. I figured this would (likely) give me the same hot temps next outing.


This was the first time I've ever taken tire temps as I just got the meter. I adjusted the probe depth properly too.


One thing that really struck me was how high my (hot) front pressures were. I had read on this forum that the RS3/4 like to run ~34psi hot and I was pushing 40psi! I didn't drop my pressures because the tire temps I was seeing were fairly even across the left front.


Should I try running lower hot pressures on the front? If that gives the front end more bite going into corners, it may fix what I am thinking is 'entry understeer'.

And is there a target tire temp to aim for with RS4's?


I could also take some roll-bar out of the rear (It has 4 settings and I'm on the second softest). Doing so would probably increase the outside rear temps as the rear end rolls more. But it would also likely move the car towards understeer as it rolls more and picks up grip.
