Re: How do I improve my turn in? A1 Jetta
well I prefer my ride on the 13 tarantula's (185/75/13) a tad softer.
so I set mine to 32 front 30 rear and its just nice (I am in QC and I think
they have the worst pot holes at anytime of the year on the roads.

26psi?!?!?!?!? No wonder.
Ideal for street should be about 34 front, 32 rear. Track you could go as
high as 38/36.
