5 TIRE INFORMATION
Tire dimensions depend on inflating pressure, rim width and camber angle.
These stiffness values are based on the recommended inflating pressure (hot tyres).

A well balanced car will make the driver come closer to the car’s limit.
• In fast corners aerodynamics (ride heights and wing settings) has more influence on the
balance than in slower corners.
• In mid-and slow speed corners the weight distribution and the differential settings are most
important.
• Tune the dampers to the chosen springs, not the springs to the dampers.
• Always pay attention to reach the correct tyre temperatures. No car can reach its limit on
too cold tyres. No car can be reasonably balanced with a significant difference between
front and rear tyre temperatures.
• Run the car always as low as possible, although without going too stiff on springs for
running lower.
