How does my tire wear look after first event on new tires?

[mindspin311]

E36 M3 on TRM coilovers, Camber is 3.4F, 2.8R, 0 toe up front, factory toe in at the rear.


First event on new RS3s, pressures were 35-37psi hot all day.


Track was Barber Motorsports Park

Overall I am pretty happy, but I am always worried about potentially wearing out the outside shoulders of the front tires. What I can see, the tires aren't rolling over at all.


Thoughts?

You're using more of the shoulder than I like to myself. What hot pressures did you run them?

I started off targeting 37, but as the track heated up and got a bit greasy, I dropped down to 35 to get some grip back.

Looks perfect to me.

Looks spot on to me.

Yup, looks good. Try to be right at the top of the arrows. You can see one of those arrows on the third photo from the top --the last of the "front left" photos.

Ran around 34-35 at barbers on the same tire, ours look exactly the same wear wise. Barbers is pretty hard on the left fronts. Thats a ton of camber in the rear tho. I was running that much when I had 255's, dropped back down to -2.2 when I moved back to a 245

I think that's too much camber in the rear too. -2.0 would be limit... 1.8 better specially on street tires

Tire wear is right on the the shoulder, seems pretty good. May potentially roll over more with less camber?

That's more camber than most guys with R-Comps are running I would bet.

Camber is more about tire temps than wear on the shoulder. That's more of a tire inflation thing.

When we ran the car in WRK, i decreased rear camber to about 1.5 on the Direzza's. Car felt on the money and tires wore great for 14 hours...
