.357

Last time I was running 45lbs in the front and 38 in the rear. Sidewall on fronts was wearing still, the rears were not wearing at all. 51psi is max. Seemed to have a lot of understeer and pushing in the front. Any suggestions? Should I put the fronts to the max? Thanks. Have to go now but will check back later.

Sounds to me like you need more camber. I would think setting the fronts to 51 psi would lessen your contact patch, thereby increasing understeer.
How's the balance of your car in a turn?

Granted...the A4 is a couple hundred pounds lighter up front than the S...but it's the same concept. I run 36-38lbs in the front depending on track temp...and 38-40lbs in the rear..again...depending on track temp. ALWAYS keeping the rear pressures higher than the front by about 2-lbs..this exact number will vary depending on your suspension setup. 2-lbs differential works for me with my H&R/Bilstein/H-Sport setup. In terms of my competitiveness...the car isn't exactly slow. I'm typically able to be the "top dog" in my G Prepared class of all the street tire runners, and able to *just* out-pace anything on R-Comps in class unless it's a VERY well driven Mini-S.

Oh, I should also mention I'm running 16's. 225/50/16

They've got a fairly stiff sidewall...which is why my pressures running 17's aren't THAT much higher than street pressures.

Car pulls a bit to the right. Doesn't feel real stable in long winding turns, such as exit ramps. I'm also sitting over a half inch lower in the front, which gives me a slight jacked up look. Long story, but Vogtlands didn't compensate for the fact that a tip is 100 lbs heavier than the manuals in front.
