[quote][i]Originally posted by Paul_J[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Dan295[/i] but surely warren drives his car on the road, unless eating through tyres is his game surely he want to be toeing in, after all having a lot of understeer is better than having a lot of oversteer [/quote] Firstly, it's negative camber that will eat up his tyres, not toe... and that's only if it's excessive, 1-1.5 degree neg camber will be fine with no real major effects on wear. Toeing in and toeing out will probably have the same effect on tyre wear as each other, as both are adding slight drag (not rolling straight forward)... however the toe in / out is only minor like 0.1 / 0.2 degrees so it's not much of a problem. Finally, if he's going through the hassle of setting his car's geometry up, I think he'll want to make it better (turn in / oversteer) rather than (wash out / understeer) on every bend! I'd take an oversteery car ANY day over a understeering car. An oversteery car can allow you to control it easier, where as an understeering car will end up in a hedge. Finally........ When we say 'making it oversteery' - it's not literally gonna spin off every time he turns the corner, it'll just make the car want to turn in, rather than want to go straight, when you turn the steering wheel. For road use I'd suggest a balance of slight oversteer. That way it'll hold it's line, if the car understeers you can get the front round using a bit of lift off oversteer, if it oversteers, you can just control it to stop it spinning out.
