Area Representative Bizzielizzie13 Posted March 16, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted March 16, 2019 I have a spare set of rims with CR500 I plan to use for tackdays, in the past I have had more wear on the inside of the front tyres during road use. So as they wear quite a bit more (camber is negative of course & some touring on motorways & so on) I have had them turned on the rim to equalise wear for road use.When staring a track days should they be turned back so the deeper tread is on the outside, will the outer wear more on a track day due to the 'enthusiastic' cornering...?I have a standard Duratech R300 (ie not race suspension) with 13'' rims - 6'' Fronts & 8'' Rears.

bosshogg Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Yes, the outside wears significantly more on the front tyres on trackdays, and usually one side more than the other depending on the circuit. Rears wear more evenly. Alastair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR400D Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I have a set of rims with ZZRs for TDs. When I first put them on the camber was as set up for CR500s on the road. About -1.75deg. On the first TD, at that setting, the ZZRs showed significantly more wear on the outer edges. I adjusted the camber to -3 each side and now on TDs the ZZRs wear very evenly on a TD. On the road the inner edges clearly must take more wear but it’s not that noticeable yet. They do get slightly warm on the inner edges though and I haven’t done many miles There’s also a little toe out which will contribute to that.The car’s a little twitchy on the road too now, feels like tram lining but never pulls the car either way significantly, just very ready to turn!
