Hi Guys,

What are you guys running. Everything the Big R has points to 3.5 negative. My tire temps say that is too much.

What do you guys run?

Thanks!

Hi Simon,

The Front is my main concern. My rears are coming out ok.

I recently switched from Hoosiers to Dunlops. I have 0 toe on the front, the 19.5mm Sway bar, and the single adjustable Intrax set to +3.

I am seeing 40deg differences from inside to outside on the tire. According to Dunlop this is Waaaaay too much.

I just want to get an idea of what settings guys have found that work to keep the tire temps in check.

Thanks for any help.

Ron

I love the way the car turns in with 0 Toe, sharp and precise. I know the recommended settings and my way there is less rolling resistance.......another topic of great importance with the Big R apparently.

I will try it with 1mm total toe out and see if that changes/stabilizes the tire temps.

However, I still think 3.5 deg negative camber on the front is too much.

Thats exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks Simon.

4 Deg neg on the front, wow. At 3.5 I have huge wear on the inside marker and not much on the outer one at all. and temp differences of more than 30C in most cases.

More test time needed I suppose. The Hoosiers were Super easy to run. No tire temp info and very forgiving. And for what its worth I think I may like the Hoosiers better at this point. The car feels VERY Stuck to the track compared to the Dunlops.
