Long Island Legacy Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Okay what pressures do you recommended for the RE92's in auto-x situations. I have a set on my car and i want to thrash them tomorrow before i switch to snows. How can i maximize front end grip and reduce the front end push with my crappy re92's.

Long Island Legacy Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 LOL. Well when you have tow cordered fronts from a crappy alligment and a itching need to auto-x and push the car you decide to yourself that you got two semi decent re92's in your shed so you put them on and hope for the best. Doesnt evryone love a all season hard compound tire that simply chunks when it gets hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urs1ne Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I think I had 35psi front and 37psi rear when I went to Julian. 05102008_153010.flv video by ursine - Photobucket@@AMEPARAM@@http://vidmg.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vidmg.photobucket.com/albums/v87/ursine/05102008_153010.flv@@AMEPARAM@@vidmg@@AMEPARAM@@mg@@AMEPARAM@@v87/ursine/05102008_153010 ^ n00bs below this line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeFromPA Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 For Auto-X, I'd say 38 PSI front and 40 PSI Rear. Get your front as high as possible but with a slightly higher rear PSI to help the rear end come rotate. Joe P.s. With the RE92s, I feel like it's not about maximizing grip (hard to do), it's more about getting the car to rotate and getting appropriate steering response.

HansGT Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Guy I work with ran 41 PSI in his RE92's. Said it really helped handling. He now has RE960's...much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownBoy Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I autoxed on my stock 16" re92s a couple of years ago. I ran like 45F and 48R on the 55 series tires. I didn't do well, but it wasn't too bad. I did spin out once tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urs1ne Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 P.s. With the RE92s, I feel like it's not about maximizing grip (hard to do), it's more about getting the car to rotate and getting appropriate steering response. He hit the nail on the head! I only got understeer 1 time with a 2psi difference. I was actually very surprised. ^ n00bs below this line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1rocketpilot Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Pressures for the RE92, I ran with about 40-42psi in the front and about 46-48psi in the back. You want to get it to grip as much as possible in the front and much less in the back. Our cars tend to plow if you're not careful, and running the higher rear pressures will reduce the contact patch there and help get the back to come around.

BMG905 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Soooo, nobody likes the 92's. Crappy, shreddable, low grip, hydroplaning expensive POC tires. Robing thoughts are so not green, but tempting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
