Default Not enough negative camber and track days can kill your tires.

I have a feeling that after a track day you will see the outsides of your rears really ragged.

Default 0 toe all around and this is what my rears look like:

I didn't get a printout, but saw the screen. I really think the rear toe settings aren't still at 0 to cause this. some say it's too much rear neg camber, but I think it's toe settings.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/racing/msgs/40545.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/racing/msgs/40545.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default Mine are somewhat like that, but not THAT extreme. Mine is only on the first inch to

two inches inside that is worn down. Sucks. I just bought two new tires cuz my others did that.

Default I have dedicated track wheels and tires. So if I see they are getting thrashed I'll go

to the shop and see if they'll do 2 for the price of 1 alignments and throw on some sponsor decal or something. That way I can align for track and street.

Default No, no, no...I wish I had Penske's! Gotta start thinking about landscaping my yard, so

the Penske's are out. But I may pick up a used set of Tracksports. Sorry!
