The first letter in "Zodiac" is Z, this is also the first letter in
"Zero" which matches both your IQ and personality, welcome to my kill
file John.

Have a nice day :)

I don't have the specific answer to your question, Todd, but in general
you can lower the pressure to heat up a tire, possibly improve its grip
but shorten its life. Conversely, you can raise the pressure in a tire
to cool the tire, decrease rolling drag which possibly gives you more
mph, and gives you a stiffer, more positive handling car.

Hi All.

Even though I'm pretty sure the answer to this question is "there is no
answer", does anyone have (or at least believe) in a rule of thumb that
converts tire pressure to dynamic weight (ie, "increasing a tire by x
pounds is equivalent to adding y pounds of weight at that corner"), or
a rule of thumb that says "stiffening a shock by x percent is
equivalent to adding y pounds of pressure to a tire".

What I'm chasing is basically keeping the chassis snap at about the
same feel but changing how hot the tires run.

I keep thinking that I've heard Benny Parsons or one of the
commentators say something along the lines of "a pound of tire pressure
is equal to ??? pounds of weight" but I can't remember what the ??? is.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

One psi is something like 15 lbs/in of tire spring rate if I remember
right. (That varies in a non-linear fashion though.)

You must be another mental giant

by **Jn1414** » Tue, 14 Jan 1997 04:00:00

Just because I didn't deem a subject of "a" worth my time to read the
other day when I was busy and got in a little late now that I do have
NOTHING better to do doesn't make me a "mental giant". Of course since I
am reading this stupid thread now I would qualify.....

Why don't you go ask mommy what comes after 'a' while *** feeding you.

Hey you idiot.
Quit filling up the newsgroup with this stupid stuff.
