I thought going to a harder tire in the rear would cause it to oversteer even more than it does now. Any help would be apreciated.
Pit tires are not the same compounds front to rear. 572 are hard but in reality in comparison to the fronts this compound is more balanced when run with a 571. The 574/575 combo is a soft/soft combo that I use on carpet. 574 fronts is way softer then 571 fronts but both are called soft. But a 572 rear is harder then a 575, hence why the 575 is more balanced with the 574 front.
