Reading race tyre wear

[Yazza54]

Hi all

Appreciate there is a suspension section on the forum but I'm likely to find the right people in this section, so - tyre wear and how to read it?

When I was messing with track bikes people regularly said you could read the tyres on the leading and trailing edge of the tread mainly to tell if your rebound was too fast or slow.

Is this also applicable to cars using treaded race tyres? My RGB S1000 Spire runs A048s and I've noticed a quite pronounced leading edge to the tyre tread on the front and it would be most useful if someone could maybe give me an idea how to use that information?

A quick google yields nothing on the subject for cars but lots relating to bikes.

Cheers

Try posting some pictures noting which corner of the car they are off.

I am not sure about rebound but it can help to understand camber, pressures and if the driver is spinning the wheels and or locking up. A temp gague also helps with understanding camber and wheelspin.
