In Reply to: Kuhmo pressures for M Roadster posted by GeoCoog on July 02, 2000 at 23:37:07:

Dave, on the sidewall of the Kumho's there are small triangles. I use these to mark to point of sidewall flex and adjust pressure accordingly. If I'm too far down, I add. If not touching the trianges I lower. Also if you are getting understeer you might lower the rear pressures, over steer raise the rear pressures, keeping in mind the triangles. Are you coming to the Saturday evening BMWCCA event on the 15th? I can show you then what I'm talking about.

: Friends,

: Today I ran my new Kuhmos for the first time. WOW, what a difference. I'd like to poll those MZ3 autox'ers our there who have experience running Kuhmos. Have you settled on an optimal front/rear pressure combination for Kuhmos specifically?

: I realize that different Z's with different engines may behave slightly different because of weight distribution (1.9, 2.3, 2.8. 3.2) Also, different tire makes have different optimal pressures ( from what I've heard at the track).

: Many thanks,

: Dave
