Better CUP wear...

[shimmy]

Its taken me a few years to get used to and control tyre wear on the CSL.

The obvious managing tyre pressure by not letting it get too high or low is the best starting point, then making sure you are running optimum geometry to get grip but also to shag the tyres early.

My purchase of 18 x 9.5J inch rims in 2010 was a final attempt to get better grip but also run a square set up in a wheel size where you have a choice of road legal and non legal Tyres.

In 2010 i did only 8 trackdays inc some wet ones and used a full set of 18 inch 265/35 Cups and this year i have done 3 heavy trackdays at Spa and Snetterton and this is the wear.

FRONT 3.5-4.0mm


REAR 3.0mm


Wear is pretty even although I think in principal I am more aggressive now on my car and Tyres.

Time is right to swap front and rear now and use he good edges of the rears on the front and decent rubber of the middle of the fronts to the rear
