Nah all that does is reduce the contact patch, be brave, less tire pressure in the rear = lower cornering stiffness in the rear:

Cfa - Crb > 0 = oversteer
Cfa - Crb = 0 = nuetral steer
Cfa - Crb < 0 = understeer

For FWD car a is small…

For example a FWD car with 63/37 weight dist a would = 37 and b = 63. Therefore to approach neutral steer the cornering stiffness of the rear should be lower (achieved by running a lower tire pressure).

It’s just that overpressurizing the rear is prefered as it is much easier to control.

You know I’ve noticed that the STS FWD cars do seem to run lower in the rear while the stock FWD cars seem to run higher air and/or positive camber in the rear. I have no idea about the SP or P classes though, so I’m wondering if that tendancy is due to tires or control over spring rates or …
