tired of tires

tires, tires, i am tired by tires. i spent another 10 laps on the track to find a solution which tire set would fit to the car and the track. first i found the gt3cup tires would be a good decision, they warm up nicely and keep the heat as long as it needs to get to the next bend. but i found the car still very spongy. the rear is keep trying to pass me and there is a thin line between understeer and oversteer and the car is really hard to handle with throttle balancing. so i went to the garage to change some settings. tire pressure varies a lot so quite hard to find a good cold pressure. to get rid of the side by side bouncing effect i have stiffen the swaybars a little, more strength on the dampers on the rear and for a couple of laps i increased the rear wing to 7. the handling was better now but the lap times are not as expected. so i went to motec to check cornering speed and g-forces and i found what i was expecting, the car is slower in bends. this is definitely a dead end. i will test the ngt tires, maybe i will spend some time on the elise tires as well and if this all fails i will go back to the gt tires.
