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

Too hot, can't think why tho! :whistle:Originally posted by lawsy View PostIs 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.

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.

mostly -2.5 camber track and then just -1.5 camber road.Originally posted by lawsy View PostIs that with 3* Shimmy.

.
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

You were v slow at spa Alex:blalalala:Originally posted by alexk View Post:birdman:

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
Shimmy, sell me or get me some of the 18's. I want to try the cups.
