Default Traction.

Also changing the spring rates will affect this. I used to run the softest tyres I could get away with to help with traction. Now I make sure all of the above is right & I can run harder tyres with better results.
I concur with this statement. I had it explained to me and when I put it into practice it really does work. I bought a copy of the XXX Main Chassis Setup Guide which goes into a lot more detail on this subject. Well worth $40...
