Is that with 3* Shimmy.

Alex seems to be getting lots of inner wear for just 1.8* on track.

My 3* was even wear and the outside of the tyres were blue. No inside wear though.

.

mostly -2.5 camber track and then just -1.5 camber road.

my guess is alex is doing most of his miles on road and quite alot loking at his mileage so the inside wear will be from motorway driving, slowly wearing with the -1.8 buts thats to be expected i think

Besides my post/comment (trying to wind up lawsy, shimmy and hopefully Duncan) I haven't done many track days with the cups.
I am still new with the CSL, can't say slow though (unless it's my first time in a track like Spa... where most of the guys here have been 1,2,10 times and they fly).

I will put the top mounts this winter and thinking to run -2 and -3 for the track.
I am also considering to buy new wheels for the cups... and I am confused.

Too hot, can't think why tho!

Shimmy is there no way you can stop the rears wearing in the middle? Lower pressure? Although with the way fronts wear, I s'pose it all evens out when you swap them

yep not too much of a problem if you swap them, but over the 4 years ive generally found rears wear even and in the middle even when ive dropped the pressures a little> i could drop them some more as some pyro data has shown i should but tbh camber looks right and grip levels are good and really i ned the sides for the front becasue you cant stop the front wearing on the sides

Thought as much.

I think I'll try and get some proper tyre temp and pressure advice next year, show me the error of my ways
