running slicks with 18's ????

[alexk]

amen to that mutherfucker, my dick just got hard

(sorry been watching Jarhead!):whistle:

Hahahaha

[alexk]

If you see the condition of my cup tyres after 18k road kilometers, 22 laps in Nordschleife, 2 track days in France and drifting in CH, GR and the racetrack, you won't believe it !
I can take some pictures and there you can see that my 'stock' camber (max setting btw) is fine. I don't have uneven tyre wear.

Since this post I have done another 1k km and a 40 minute session in Monza, drifting everytime in the sikeins.

The wear looks good, despite my factory camber settings (-1.8 front and rear).

Comments please ?

front right


rear left


rear right

Really surprised by the lack of wear on the outside of the fronts!

[shimmy]

you need to drive a bit quicker alex, the outsides of those tyres even with no camber, are hardly touched!!:thumbs:

[s.mac]

was it raining .... they look new ..... I have seen how a set of fronts can go in a couple of hours !

[shane@mbtech]

You drive like a pussy:gayfight:

:birdman:

hahaha

shimmy, judging by the fact that I am almost as fast as you are in Monza (taking into account traffic and drifting)... I think I drive the CSL a bit better than most of you that treat it like a front-wheel-drive

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

[alexk]

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! :whistle:

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
