Front tire damage in skidpad.
Falken 660 with 5-6 trackdays, 28 psi hot. This happened on a Streets of willow skid pad excersize. I was pushing pretty hard trying to figure out the limits of the car and the tires. Getting a lot of understeer off very tight 180 degree turns. Second gear full throttle coming out of the turn would just push instead of oversteer. I think the speeds were a bit too slow and the weight shift to the back would grip the rear. Dry conditions plus low tire pressures….not the right thing to do on the skid pad. Sheered the thread right off.
Just ordered GT Radial sx2s from Walmart, lets see how they hold up. https://imgur.com/a/UCdqDnF |

They were starting to delaminate and you kept running them. You can see it starting here. 28psi hot is really low to me. I ran 34-37psi. 5-6 days is pretty good out of a set. I got like 4 days.

Edit:Also would more camber (in addition to higher pressures) help here? |

That is a spot we’re you almost wore through the tread and it then pealed a chunk away. Then continuing to run on the tire it caught a spot like that and pulled a chunk of the tread away. Need to check your tires before every session. Here’s a pic of one of mine.

Put new tires on, they are done at that point.

Yeah…I was “trying” to trail brake towards the tight apex and come out on the gas but did not get the result I was looking for. Next excersize was going around the white circles which would have been easier to break loose on but I did not make it that far. Tire shop was closed and the tire stores I called in the Lancaster area did not have anything decent in stock.

Turn your steering wheel less, coming out of the turn.
You're causing your own push. |

also they were close to being done. Now that I found out about 86Cup, I am going to try to compete in the Stock class, SX2s seem to be ok for stock, cheap and something I can learn on by getting as much track time as possible without breaking the bank as hard. |
