Tire pressure plays a bigger role than most drivers realize.
The easiest way to understand it is by thinking about how much tire is actually toucing the track.
Lower tire pressure means more tire is moving the car forward, meaning the car is faster, but harder to control.
Higher tire pressure means less tire is touching the track, so obviously the car won’t be as fast, but it will be much easier to drive and maintain when drifting.
In the front, the right amount pressure helps maintain steering response and consistency.
If the rear feels too grippy, increasing pressure slightly can make the car more manageable. If it feels unstable or slow, lowering it may add control and speed.
Instead of changing major parts, sometimes all you need is a pressure adjustment.
