[quote][i]Originally posted by EwertonGSi[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Mattb[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by broster[/i] Paul, it is actually toe which eats tyres, not camber [/quote] Both excessive toe and camber will wear tyres quickly to be fair, excessive toe will scrub the tyres out due to the tyres effectivly being dragged down the road. excessive camber will wear the tyres heavily also. mainly due to the fact the tyres will run hotter on one edge due to the reduced contact area and increased load on the tyre that results from the smaller contact area, hotter tyres get softer, softer tyres wear quicker.. there are subtle differences in the wear patterns between the two. I get to see both pretty much everyday, as vw cant seem to set the suspension geometry on their new cars very well :boggle: [/quote] Thats true for street and road cars. On track the main goal of camber setup is achieve even temperatures on tyre's surface, like this (60/58/55) fr tyre. This way the tyre wears evenly and much less than other cars with a wrong camber setup. Wrong camber results in low grip->low corner speeds->more skids->more wear->poor laptimes. [/quote]
