good tires from tire rack for autox
#11
I run 35front/39rear in dry conditions. It works for me but I also have much stiffer suspension. You can try those pressures and work from there bumping it up or down. It's really just trial and error finding what works best for you and your own car.

have you tried to reverse the pressures? The last school I instructed at I ran my near stock '99 Civic EX(Tokico springs((basically stock lol)), LS rear swaybar) with my 195/50R15 Yokohama S.Drives with the tires set IIRC, 35front/42rear. It felt pretty good with those pressures but then again I didn't really play around with it much. It is true that if you are under control entering a turn, the car won't push much, but I still felt it wanting to at some spots. I was actually surprised that it had some over steer in big sweepers. A little trail braking and using the body roll to your advantage really helped.
FF to minute 2 and you'll see some sloppy but fun over steer

Lol nice I did that a couple of events ago. The sharp left was on the backside of a "hill" in the pavement I went to lfb like normal and the back end just started to swing out. But me and my buddys go drifting every winter when it ices over so I just countersteered and put my foot down
