So, to get rid of the understeer, I just went from 205s to 225s in the front of my 986. Understeer is gone but now there's oversteer. This is fine at autox but now I'm worried that I made the car semi dangerous on the street.

If anything it will pose more a threat in rain or snow.
I don't think you have anything to worry about if you drive in a civilized manner on a day to day basis.
you probably could have tuned it out with swaybars and tire pressure alone tbqh instead of some retarded backwards stagger

My main worry is on/off ramps in the cold (NY). With the 205s I had quite a bit of indication before the front went. And even then, it was recoverable.

Got 255s in the back but I found some dry rot on the tires, so I replaced the front. That's when I decided i might as well go with 225s for more grip.

RWD
>>13934932
oh that's fine then
Just don't be shit and it won't be a problem.
I ran 235s all round on my SW20 before and it was fine even in the wet as long as you paid attention.

>RWD
wow thats shit
you couldn't even be brave or interesting?
fuck off with your rwd elitist bullshit

Just kinda spooked because I ran them in autox last week, got a handful of oversteer and nearly lost it, went OC but didn't spin. With the 205's any understeer was easy to control and ride out.

TRIGGERED
>>13934982
Go to a skidpan or similar and learn how to drive with the throttle, that way if you get hektik on the street it won't be a problem.
>>13934993
god forbid someone have a genuine opinion in this hell hole
>>13934890
Learn to drive first; then mod the car
>>13934982
If you have adjustable coilovers, reducing rebound in the rear relative to the front will help make the car more neutral.
Ultimately on-ramps won't be problematic regardless of conditions as long as you aren't quick on the throttle mid turn.

>quick on the throttle
It's MR, going on the throttle keeps grip in the rear end, it's off-ramps you need to worry about. If the cunt in front of you suddenly slows down mid corner and it's wet, you back can get full hektik.
This wasn't a problem for me, but like 4 days after i bought my SW20 i spent a full day at a skidpan and learnt how to deal so whenever it rained i had much fun.
