Check Tire Pressure Before Spirited Driving
Tire pressure has an outsized effect on handling once you’re driving with any enthusiasm. Checking and adjusting before a spirited drive or track day makes the car’s behavior far more predictable.
- Check pressure cold, before the tires have warmed from driving.
- Many track-focused drivers run slightly different pressures front to rear.
- Recheck after the first few hard laps — pressure rises with heat.
