I would think that would tell you that the Frts are workin harder than the rear, but certainly not by much. Probably need to hear more about what you experienced in handling, how the tires gripped etc.

What type of chassis are you running? 30mm or 32? Also, you say you are struggling in the slow corners. Is it understeer on entry/exit? For me personally, I run a 32 while the top guys in my area have all converted to a 30. As a result, I’ve had to do everything I can to soften the rear of the kart. I went to the shortest possible rear hubs, gone out to 55″ rear width, soft seat without the secondary seat struts and then regarding your question about psi, I run about 1 psi higher in the rear than the front. I generally start my fronts at 10 cold, rear at 11. They’ll work their way up to 11.5/12.5 hot. Some of the other guys I’ve talked to with 30mm chassis get their tires to about 15-16psi hot.

The chassis is 30 mm.  Keeping in my my lack of experience, the kart seems like it could turn in better, and change direction in the consecutive slow turns better. Perhaps this is the same condition?

Just to add to the kart description, it has a 50mm axle, medium stiffness, 1030 in length. Front spindles are 25mmm, with adjustable pills.

No torsion bars, one seat strut per side.

I do have shorter hubs, both front and rear that can be tried.

Sounds like a push to me.
