Camber for street tires? Should I mess with the camber plates to avoid destroying my
Picked up a set of DWS 06 Plus A/S to drive to and from events and also to drive as a daily (GR86/BRZ). I work from home, so don’t drive that much. Maybe 10-15k a year if even.
Currently have my toe fixed to (-0.10) so toe out, and toe in the rear (0.20+). And my camber is about -5 on the front and -2.5 on the rear. I have read that toe is the biggest item for tire wear. The car is on camber plates so I can change the camber for dailying but that impacts my toe. I’m wondering if driving around with that amount of camber is alright, or I’ll just chew through the tires? Glad to not be driving on 200TW during rainy season. Should I just pull back the camber via the camber plates when swapping tires back to all seasons after autocross? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think I replied to you on reddit, too.
Just pull camber out at the plate. It'll be fine. |

Why do you have -5 anyway? I don't think running -3.5 would cost you much if anything in terms of front grip. 0.4* rear toe-in is probably actually worse on your tires tho. Is it "front toe-out for turn-in, and buncha rear toe-in for 'stability'"? Why not just run zero all around?

I run -4* front with 0 toe and -2.3* rear with .07 toe, and haven't noticed any major tire wear issue, but I don't put a ton of miles on not autox tires.

I would zero out the front toe and even dial back the rear toe a bit. Really no need to run all that front camber during the off season but shouldn't be a problem either.
Does your car tram line a lot ? That is normally the major downsize to a lot of front camber. The car just gets pulled around on bad road surfaces

My car had noticeably more front grip even going from -4.5 to -4.9 degrees, YMMV depending on tire and other setup decisions though.

OP, I run -4.9/-2.6 daily driven. 0 front toe, 0.3 ish degrees of total rear toe in.
Inside edges of the front wear more than I'd like on the street but as I mentioned above, I needed the camber to make the front work better. If I wasn't lazy I'd just slide the camber plates out between events... but I'm too lazy to even swap tires so... I don't. The toe isn't affected *that* much by the camber plates either, BTW. Try it and see how little it changes.

If you start getting inner wear just take the exits faster
