Here is the wear on my front tires after ~90 runs (50 of which were with -2.2 and 40 runs with -3.6 front camber). This is with less than 800 street miles.

Is that 90 runs with or without swapping the insides out?

Not to re-drail OP's post, but I am interested in getting a BRZ. I haven't decided on 17+ or < 17, but I think the SSC is really calling to me.
However, and more on-topic, the Nexens still wore the shoulder with -3.3? What FSB and springs? Seems really weird to me, unless the car was very lightly sprung. Thanks for accepting slight digression. Can't wait to see the build/thread! |

Nexens wore with 50 runs on -2.2 and 40 runs -3.6 (front camber). The car has full SSC mods - Eibach springs, Eibach FSB/RSB, Konis, and SPC Front camber bolts / Rear LCA. I got a lot of push with -2.2. |

Also, why would you choose a pre-17? Thanks for the feedback! |

I just don't like the shorter 2nd gear of the '17+ for autox. |

Did your camber bolts hold well? I have not been a fan of using those in the past. Sorry, just so I am clear, this is the difference you are referencing, right? Meaning, my perspective in buying 295/30/18s (different car), this is cheap, either way, and they last longer. Nexen RE71R Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions!

SEB (SCCA) is focused on keeping the cost low for SSC. While the price difference for a set isn't much, thought it was a lot more, they are looking at a cost effective overall package. Last edited by iLuveKetchup; 02-15-2018 at 10:35 PM. |

Of course. Sorry. I just chose a max tire size and used it as a constant for price comparison. My bad.

2/15/18 -- 34,282 miles
Swapped over to the Facken Azenis tires (spec tire). I'm glad that there is more tire-to-strut clearance with these tires vs the Nexens. #65 Front spacer Front Koni More strut-to-tire clearance than the Nexens Rear endlink Last edited by iLuveKetchup; 02-15-2018 at 03:28 PM. |
