RE: How do I improve my turn in? A1 Jetta



The autocrossers, like Meze, could probably advise you better on this, but I
wouldn't be afraid to go as high as about 38 on the front and about 32-34 on
the rear.  Try it, the nice thing is you can go back (softer) instantly and
without it costing a cent!  Shawn?  Scott?

To what - I'm running 26psi all round at the moment
(195/50/15). This is 2 psi over the book ratings for
the standard 175/70/13 tyres.
