Some tracks have so much traction that with I can only setup the car with max. 17 or 18 degrees steering to not griprol, front tires only applied 2mm of additive. With a touringcar I know what steps to take to make the car behave like I want. 12th scale and foam is somewhat new to me ;-)
This is correct and should give a 3' to 4' turning circle
However, grip roll is not something I would adjust lock for, there are better ways to tune for that
High grip tracks demand small tires
