how could you think that was a myth?

if your tires look like this /---\ you're gonna wear the inside when you drive on the freeway.

Toe causes wear too of course.

 

i meant why more negative camber in the front than the rear. i see track setups with more in the rear but race setups seem to have more in the front.

 

I was replying to the guy above my post.

The track guys run max camber and that happens to be more in back. The car is much faster with a lot more front camber than you can get stock. But it pretty well kills any hope of getting more thant 5-6k street miles out of a set of tires.

I thought that because a Sponsor on this site who sells wheels for his profession claimed this.


Although you should never trust the guy selling you the product, I believed what he said since he can sell any size wheel you need.

Maybe Rijowysock lied?

 

yes you should always be skeptical of someone trying to sell you something and you certainly shouldn't pass on something they told you as fact

 

I got about 30,000 miles out of my original SO2's with -3* camber front, but I drive slow (on the street ) .

 

Every time you accelerate (rear), brake (front > rear), and turn, you are wearing rubber from the inside of the tire with excess -ve camber. Toe changes too as you accelerate and brake, adding to wear, even if zero toe when static.

 

I think what you may have read is that for any given neg camber and toe, you would get more wear with toe than camber..........putting it in other words: toe scrubs off more rubber than camber does but both will wear your tire faster, specially on a street driven car.

 

hmm..maybe i should get that spc ball joint run -3 or more up front too!

 

btw..found it for a great price here..
