Two questions -
Has anyone experienced inside wheel spin on asphalt? I had a divisional this past weekend with a section that equated to a decreasing radius right hander. At the end of the turn, the inside right rear felt like it was slipping until I started to straighten out the car. BTW, I

The inside wheel spin is a very real problem with the S2000. Unfortunately, once you add the extra traction that the Kumhos can supply, the car ends up lifting the inside rear wheel in hard turns, and yep, you get the inside tire spinning. Basically, the torsen can't work when the tire is completely unloaded, so it just allows it to spin. We have finally got ours to mostly stop by adding a huge front bar and getting our aftermarket shocks revalved to be quite stiff.
As for the tire pressures, I've never heard that before. I normally get 2-3 pounds of increase for the first couple of runs and then still another pound or so each time, unless it's quite warm outside. I know people are all over the board with pressures, but I run 35 all the way around.....
