21F, 23R, and the car was very difficult to control. 21/21 was better, but 
23F/21R made it more neutral. Suggestions welcome!!! 

>>>I think most people who use them regularly would be utterly horrified to 
hear low low your tire pressures were.  R-1's want LOTS of pressure, i.e. 
high '30's or low '40's if I recall correctly.  Don't take my word for it 
(hell, I've never run them before) but go to the BFG website and read their 
FAQ on the R-1...
