That's where the problem lies. The F/R weight distribution is already 61/39 and I have absolutely no clue what is causing the understeer. I'm suspecting tires, but I'm not about to go out and buy a whole new set until I can figure out what is wrong.

The way I see it, if i'm hearing tire squeal from the front, it's understeer. if I'm hearing tire squeal from the rear, it's oversteer. Right now, my car is set up such that going into a turn at a good clip will have all 4 tires squealing lightly at the same time.

As you suggested, I'm not exactly keen right now to run out and mess up the balance, and I'm trying to figure out what is causing the understeer.

Here's my alignment setting at the moment:

-3F/-1.2R
0 toe all around
Tire pressures are 32psi all around.

I use this setting for street as well since I take part in track days every 2 weeks.
