Need advise on tire wear.
I normally was running the tires at a hot temp of 33 degrees; but when on the Shenandoah Circuit at Summit Point WV I notice that I was getting a lot of rollover on the front tires. I talked to an instructor and he advised me to increase the temp to 36-38 Hot. So I did and ran a couple laps and the rolling problem seemed to be gone. I used a friends pyrometer and measured the temps after the next session and the temps where within a couple of degrees inner being hotter and outer being the coolest.
A couple weeks later I drove 8 25 minutes sessions on the Summit Point Main Circuit and noticed that the outer edge was being worn at a lot high rate than the inner. Especially the front drivers. Any advice on the correct setup? 2017 BRZ w/PP Suspension: CSG Tein Flex A coilovers and SPL Rear Lower Control Arm Wheels: Apex arc 8 17x9 et42 Tires: 245/40R17 Maxxis VR1 S2 Pads: CSG C1 front and Project Mu Club Racer Rear -- Alignment: Corner Balanced Camber: -2.5 Front; -2.0 Rear Toe: -0.02 Front; 0.12 Rear Caster: 5.8 Front Steer Ahead: 0.0 Thrust Angle: -0.01 --Tire Pressure and Pyrometer readings Longacre 52-50635 AccuTech Economy Pyrometer All readings taken after a cool down lap and the long drive to the paddock.

I would add another degree of negative camber. That will probably do it. You will also get some added grip.

More front camber, -3.5 to -4.5 likely much happier, rear could probably go up a touch as well, -2.5 to -3.0
This is where pyro can be very misleading, heat by the time you get back to the pits doesn't reflect where you're using the most tire which is clearly the outside edge. Adjusting for wear pattern should supersede the pyro readings unless you're getting realtime data. |

More front camber will help. I used to do 2 events (4 days) and have the tire rotated on the wheel. Then I could run another 4 days. That was with NT01's. Even at 3.5* they would still need to be rotated. 3.5* would also eat up the inside shoulder of my street tires. It's one of the compromises of this strut suspension. No camber gain in a corner like an unequal A arm set up.

Moar front camber. Like -3 minimum, preferably -3.5 to -4 |

Many aftermarket struts are slotted for more adjustability. Last edited by strat61caster; 04-18-2021 at 03:27 AM. |

Thanks for advice. I'm going to flip the tires and ask the shop to put as much negative camber up to -3.5 front and -3 rear. I'm not sure if my camber plates can get to -3.5 maybe I can get -3.

-2.8, just from lowering 1.25" (stock/factory LCAs). Rear camber isn't as important anyway, anything from -2 to -3 I wouldn't worry about it if you don't have adjustability.

With front camber @ 3.5, what is tire wear like for a mostly street driven car with 2 to 3 days of track a year?
