TIRE SETTINGS 

(ALL FOUR TIRES)

COLD AIR PRESSURE

Air pressure in the tire when the car is loaded into the world. Higher pressures will reduce rolling drag and heat buildup, but will 
decrease grip. Lower pressures will increase rolling drag and heat buildup, but will increase grip. Higher speeds and loads require 
higher pressures, while lower speeds and loads will see better performance from lower pressures. Cold pressures should be set 
to track characteristics for optimum performance. Generally speaking, it is advisable to start at lower pressures and work your 
way upwards as required.

ADVANCED SETUP OPTIONS

This section is aimed toward more advanced users who want to dive deeper into the different aspects 
of the vehicle’s setup. Making adjustments to the following parameters is not required and can lead to 

significant changes in the way a vehicle handles. It is recommended that any adjustments are made in 

an incremental fashion and only singular variables are adjusted before testing changes.
