Would it be advisable to run 205/50/15 summer tires up front and 195/55/15 performance all season tires in the rear? Would that help with the handeling and understeer issue or just be worst? I already increased the rear sway bar too.
Has no one stagerred tires for handeling improvement not drag improvement.
Does it not help? Does it make it worse?
If your Integra understeers badly enough for you to consider stuff like that, you need an alignment or are driving it poorly. Even when my car was 100% stock, it didn’t understeer all that badly at autocross.
Sounds like your not driving it correctly the way you desribe your understeering so badly.
Either that or you alignment isn’t correct.
Actually it is not that bad at all. I already have a stiffen rear anti-roll bar and the shocks are set stiffer in the back. Fact of the matter it still losses grip in the front before the rear at the limit. I am just trying to be cheap and use my existing 195/55/15 performance all seasons in the rear all the time and only have to swap out the front set in the summer and winter.
Has any one tried running with 205/50/15 front and 195/55/15 in the back???
i did just that on my old DA, 205/50/15’s on the fronts, and 195/55/15 on the back…just cant remember the tire brands tho cuz I was using different brands for both the fronts and the rears, the car was lowered about 2.5 inches all around, with 1.5 deg. camber all around also…as for handling, there’s no noticeable different…I did that because I wanted more traction on the front wheels, since I was racing that car on the drag strip alot…
edit: the fronts was nitto 555, and the rears was kumho
here’s a rule of thumb for you: putting shittier tires on will never result in better grip.
:werd: what kind of tire you get makes a difference.
