What tires are you in again?

A052s. They need a lot of camber. Given the issues Im running with my daily tires wearing out, I might have to switch to Bridgestones.

Ah I see what you mean now. I thought you didn't want to run too much camber lol. What's limiting your camber then? I would think you would want 3.5+? Sorry haven't been following your build recently...

I was running -3.5 during the season. But since it is my daily car it was eating at the inner rubber. I could go to -4 or more but that would absolutely feel horrible whenever putting the all seasons back on and would eat them away.

I went to -2.5 for the winter since there is no need for the old camber and the AS tires feel relatively better when driving.

Oooooohhhhh, I'm dumb lol. Ok yeah good luck with that, I don't daily my FRS most of the time. I have found that regular tire rotations seem to keep the tread decent since I'm *only 2.3 in back. I've got a set of General AS-05 before they were discontinued and they seem pretty happy at 3.8 up front. Again, probably only 1-2k miles on them.

...I guess that doesn't really help pointing to a discontinued tire though...

Accessory belt replaced at 72,600 miles. Belt is Gates Micro-V.

Didn't snap or anything, I just noticed cracks at the tracks here and there.
