Larry,

A rule of thumb is to put more pressure in the front, since you're going to
generate more force on the front tires under braking (what with engines
being rather heavy) than you will generate force on the rears accelerating.

I was told at the track by someone I met that the more air pressure is
given,
the tire will have more traction.  I thought this sounded weird, but I
thought
I'd try it out.  So, I inflated my 18"s to 35 in the front and 40 in the
rear
to decrease oversteer.  I'm not sure if it was the car or not, but I
experience a huge amount of oversteer.  What is the general rule about this?

Thanks
