Default Does PTM work with non-staggered tires?

Does PTM work with a square tire setup?

How does changing tire height affect PTM?

The stock rear is 0.75" taller than the front.

I'd like to run the same size track tire front and rear.

It'll mess it up.

To what extent?

The height difference or the width difference or both?

Personal experience?

MDM on my M3 worked well with non-staggered tires. I normally drove with it off but did play around a bit just to see. Not a direct comparison… I get that.

I would think PTM race should work given it's only TC with no yaw control.
