Steering - what is better: RM or RH plus Aero or Suspension or...

[Meltac]

Hi guys

As the title says, I was wondering what - in your experience - generally helps best improving steering / cornering (especially: preventing understeering) with a certain PP limit - given the car already uses fully customizable suspension with "good" settings:

• using RM tires but nothing else (especially almost no front aero) due to PP limit, or
• using RH tires instead to lower PP and add some front aero until PP limit reached
• anything else / different?

I know this depends on the track, car, weather, TCS setting, LSD settings, driving style, weight distribution, tire wear etc. etc. - but still, is there some kind of "tendency" that you've experienced so far in GT7? I've done a couple of tests under different circumstances but couldn't decide what's best.

Cheers

Usually I prefer downforce over softer tyres, allows me to tune the balance of the car and also helps a lot on races with tyre wear because you can stretch the stints out longer. It's especially useful on FWD or 4WD to remove understeer and not absolutely cook the front tyres. You also have to take into account how the PP system works, or the flaws it has where sometimes switching tyres will be a big PP jump that doesn't reflect in lap time, likewise a certain downforce setup might not end up increasing it much giving you room to run more power or less weight.

Slow earlier, let the car settle coast if needed, and then power.

You know this but understeer in most cars isn’t aero related or suspension related it’s driving style for the car you are in.

That all said I’d go with RM every time as there are other benefits for them over RH like corner speed and corner exit over the RH
