Wear on slicks

[trackm3_csl]

Way to little camber -5, Slicks have a much flatter surface area, also was your temp hot or cold ?? and another thing is they look to narrow for your rims which wont help with temps ?

-3.2 ish is perfect for cups and even wear.

I really need someone with a pyro thing.

Still not done a dry UK track day, managed 4 sessions yesterday, 3 wet, one damp. Car had great grip on Goodyear Eagle F1's.

using 235 on 9 inch rims which is the minimum width, pressure was 28 hot. What camber would you recommend front and back.

[trackm3_csl]

30-32 hot, -5 on the front -3 rear ?

although quite a lot of Kuhmo guys run narrow 225 on 9 inch rims

Not a good practice, better with an 8'' rim, r compounds and slicks rely on wall movement to get to operating temps, if the tyre is mounted stretched it won't move enough !

That sort of wear comes from toe adjustment not camber......your left front toe is out....
