Solo Autocross Tire Destruction
At national events I'm finding I need the extra tire height. It was particularly bad at the pro this weekend. Stangely enough the guy who beat us all (GS Focus ST) by 2.5 seconds was on RS3 version 1. He had difficulty finding the V1s.
I just replaced my 205/50/16 DZII with 205/55/16 RS-3 v2. I had the DZII on for a little less than one season, but about 4k street miles. They were destroyed.
With the Dunlops I was running 48/40 warm to keep the sidewalls from rolling over. In hindsight I should have gone a little lower up front to balance things out.....at those pressures, the car was pretty squirrelly and there was significant oversteer.
I wondering what I should run my RS-3s at. I've seen lots of ranges...from 33/33 cold to 38/48 warm and everything in between. My goals are maximum grip, and neutral handling. I am stock besides for the sport suspension.

Won't 43 in the back give a lot of oversteer?
