Make an effort! Read the previous few posts at least

I see you spotted my deliberate mistake SOAB.

I'd forgotten about this thread! Well, I can indeed confirm that Cup tyres rock compared to road tyres on a CSL!

I can only compare them to the PS2s that i have used on previous trackdays but they give awesome levels of grip in the bendy bits and inspire massive confidence in the car. I managed to shave on average over 20secs from my previous Ring lap times.

Like AlexGTT, i have adjustable camber plates and these do help with wear and longevity issues as long as you keep checking those pressures!

Cool that's good to hear Glendog as i have a set waiting for me back home.

I'm going to get them filled with Nitrogen, i'll let you all know how i get on.

So from reading this thread i take it you should run about -2.5 camber on the front on track yes???? What camber should i run the front on the road?

What about the rear camber???

Bealo, as mentioned on another thread you need to run what "you" need to run and only a tyre pyrometer or trial and error will tell you. If you have stock suspension then I'd suggest it seems 2.5 deg neg is a good starting point from others accounts. If you have upgraded the suspension it would seem in some cases 2 deg is enough. This will depend also on your driving style.

Thanks Jeff

the car is going to BMSport for a geo set up so i will see what they recommend.

Well, base it on what you use the car for.

Mine has had two geo setups there now, the latest being more extreme. TBH it hunts cambers a lot more and tramlines too... so on the road it is actually worse. Great on track though.
