My guess would be to lower that rear pressure, Kevin. You can induce
oversteer into a FWD car by adding rear tire pressure. I've done it
before in my Mini. So it only stands to reason that you can reduce it
by lowering that pressure. Theoretically, the rears just go along for
the ride in a FWD car. But you can still make some significant
changes in handling by just adjusting the pressure back there.
