RR - I tested 20 laps at the Indy Oval and mid-way through I checked telemetry and the front tires were at 34.6 and rear at 30.2 psi. For my original settings at 29/29 they would end up at 33.5 f/r. The temps were about even at 210 deg. In addition, I was following my own ghost and could not keep up. Though I am not that consistent of a driver I was off by over 3 tenths of a second on my PB (from 1:03.193 to 1:03.567). That’s the update. Let me know about the BRZ and I will check that as well. Thanks!
Max rim size for car. Stock wheel on front and upgraded width on rear.

Sorry for the wrong info,
RR
OK, 22 laps and results are…(for BRZ)
Warm temps at 38.3 even F/R
Lap time at Oval: 1:04.390…my PB with this car was at #56 LB (1:03.426), so, off by about 1sec. [My Eclipse took the BRZ’s spot on LB with #35.] Hope this helps your process. Good luck!
** TS was off by about 1-2mph

It must be the way your driving! Me and my mate have been using it and have found it to be as fast or faster and feel better.
Hm… I duno what your doing but I know that tyre pressures don’t make up 1 second but Oh well… works for me and my mate.

Very good point! As you probably know, I am relatively new to this (first game unit and Forza 5 game ever!) so I am still learning how to drive these little creatures on my screen. You are certainly a much better driver with tons of experience. Thus, can you try one of my tunes? If so, both the Eclipse and BRZ are posted with my GT or names as “PRKid Indy Oval” and “BRZ” or “Eclipse”. Then maybe we can have you retest with modified psi’s. Thoughts? Thanks!
I can post both (or all 4 tunes) for you to try out.
p.s. My driver inconsistency can easily accommodate several seconds (if not more)!
Got it, np RR! Testing as I type…oops, I can get a ticket for texting while driving, lol!
Any psi numbers for the BRZ?
It’s fine, like I said in the OP, for some it will be faster and for some it wont.
