Irrelevant Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 This is based on Avon radials, not Michelin, but I don't see why this should make a huge difference. Rears need about 1 degree negative so use .25 ears and shim them if the tyres aren't being fully worked. Fronts should be about -2 to -2.5. Check temps to make sure all the tyres are getting fully worked accross their surfaces.  Info originally from BMTR and passed on to me by a kind radial slick using Blatchatter  Must get the Gigabusa finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrolhead Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 Interesting - Rears 1deg negative. So the std DD Ears would suit the Avons better at 1.25 deg (I think) NE7Club Web Site R5 no 65 😬 I am after low level tyre rack and jerry can box for Mino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005  I thought the radial slicks need more -ve camber than the stiffer sidewalled crossply slicks. Incidentally, Slipperman used to use Michelin radial slicks and I could keep up when he had those. Now he's on the Avon ones and he's going so much faster and I'm generally just in his way! Edited by - Alex Wong on 5 Jul 2005 11:27:29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 They did appear to be made of concrete and last forever - maybe not a suitable compound for a Seven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
