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

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.

Yes, but some (most? Idk) camber plates can hit low -3.x alone, every setup is a little different.
Many aftermarket struts are slotted for more adjustability.

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.

I am new to coils and camber plates. Just got my new RCE SS-1 put onto the car. Still dialing in ride height. They mentioned -3.5 is possible on a 30mm drop but they recommend -3 and a 25mm drop. Is there any advantage to or a big difference between -3 and -3.5? My car is also still my daily on sx2 rubber

-3 should be OK. For me, -3.5 is the sweet spot for track/street, others say -4 or even more is better for the track. -3 is a decent improvement over -2.5 for sure, but I say if you can get -3.5 go for it.

Maybe I will try for 3.2 up front. What are you running in the rear?

-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?
