Norm,
Thanks much for the suggestions re CC plate adjustment repeatability. Contrary to appearances I'm not the type to run this car at the track many times a season. It's 13 yr old and I've ~never~ done so before... OTOH, these Advans are the closest thing to the perf of slicks (and still...
Hey Norm,
Thanks for the qwik reply.... and for the info. Re diff camber adjustments for racing/track -v- street, I understand that it'd be a good idea to mark the CC plates with the optimum settings for each so I can easily switch - perhaps w/o even taking it to an alignment shop. Think I...
Many thanks for the feedback... looks like the puzzle is starting to come together. There seems to be a consensus that CC plates are a good idea and that MMs are one of the best choices.
Re the adjustment advice:
- Haven't seen any neg feedback re the proposed -.35 deg camber. Does that seem...
Hello all,
Have been gathering info from a variety of sources and, after analysis of all opinions offered, come to the conclusion that:
A) I really must replace the factory caster/camber plates with adjustable versions in order to be able to control all the parameters I might need to change...
Thanks to all taking time to respond - your answers have given me some confidence there's a logical solution to this problem.... Re specific camber suggestions, does "change your camber by 0.3 degrees positive" (someone else mentioned -0.3, too) mean set it to +.03 or change it by that much...
Not sure if direct / indirect effects of scrub radius could cause the excessive inside wear I've seen or not... but it'd be nice to be enlightened. OTOH as is so often the case, perhaps it's time to go with the "if it walks like a duck & quacks like a duck - you've got yourself a duck"...
Many thanks to all who have replied. And humblest apologies if I've inadvertently said or done anything that violated site protocol... Certainly hope not.
Am not driving the car any harder (including braking) than I ever have. Matter of fact, since all the other variables I could identify...
You're quite right that the better tires grip the more they get driven hard... It's "because you can" when you have them (!) Still, the T/A KDs I used before on the stock rims were similarly soft but wore evenly (well, mebbe just a bit more on the ~outside~ edge if I really drove the hell out...
Am trying to solve a problem with abnormal tire wear that seems to be stumping everyone... Have found my favorite sticky tires ever but after only 12k miles they've worn dangerously only on the inside 1" or so on both sides and nobody seems to know why... Tire wear is normal otherwise on front...
