I can never seem to figure it out. If you don't know what I mean: It's like when you hard turn during certain corners it makes the GT-R's front tires heat up quickly. I tried tuning its suspension, but It seems to be always coming back. I don't bother touching the LSD because I don't understand it very well. Bear in mind that I am a bit new to tuning and a bit of a beginner at it, and that I'm using a pad.

Anyone know how to fix this? Apologize if this has been asked already.
 
Maybe try adjusting your brake sensitivity or brake balance altogether. My only thoughts on what could be your problem. Either than or just come into the corner a little more tentative. That way you're not being forced to lock the brakes up.
 
4WDs are like this, I'd imagine there's more pressure on the front tires. I own a lot of 4WDs and have experienced this.

Change your driving style. I should know, I drive the RS6 Advant quite a bit. Also tune your car on the Nurburgring. That track will show almost all of the cars faults in handling.

Thank you for the above answers.


Thread is now closed (I'm not premium, but let the mods do it, I guess).
 
its because with a 4WD car it is similar to tire wear on a FWD car, if you have the settings at default, the front wheels are doing a little bit of everything, Torque/Steering/Braking, where as with a RWD car the front wheels are not helping to pull the car along and are only responsible for braking and steering, if you shift more of the torque duties to the rear wheels, making have a bit more of a RWD feeling but still remain some of the stability of an AWD car by keeping say 20-30% of torque in front you will see the front tires wear a bit slower
 
Its cause 4WD vehicles are more prone to understeer, which causes excessive werar to the front tires. The best solution would be to buy the Drive split Managment or whatever its called, which allows you to change the torque split in 4WD car and put most or all (10-90split) of the torque to the rear wheels.
