Now that AX season is over in the Bay Area, I took off my worn Kumhos and put on the street tires for the winter.

When I looked closer at my tires, SHEEEESH. It's amazing that I actually did my fastest lap on the last run.

1 of 4, this is the passenger front tire

of coarse it was your fastest time you had those rare slicks, with steel traction spikes

Thats nothing Howard. Here is what my last set looked like when I was done. I even had to drive home from the autox on this tire.

Running a little excessive camber are we? If not intentional....ya need an alignment....

Have you checked inside, middle and outer temps after a hot run?

Mike, don't know if you were referring to Demick or myself, but it seems that we both do not have enough negative camber.

I know I need a lot more, I only have about 1.5 in the rear, but that is because I suspect I have a bent arm. I can get almost 3 on one side, but only 1.5 on the other, so the lowest common demoninator wins <_<

Too cheap to buy a pyrometer, or whatever the thing is called... but I do know people that totally swear by it.

Just on the other side of all that metal stuff, is 914 heaven.
