Flyboygsxr said:If you rotate in an "X" pattern you can usually get the most life out of the tires...just don't try and rotate till everything is cooled off otherwise you'll break wheel studs. Some will disagree with rotating side to side because it cause the tire to rotate in the opposite direction. I don't rotate side to side on my DD but I do on the Boss just to get the most wear out of the tires. Good luck

I kinda was running too hot into the corner and "scrubbing"
off soeed(as you can see), rather than slow in and fast out!
I'm goin back in June so I'll try that approach.
Yes I do run a square setup , but I'm running on Vorshlags
18x11(diff offset). So when I say side to side,I'm talkin
about takin off wheel and switching left to right( so those
Large blocks are actually on the insides now) If that make sense :-\ Lol
How's the repairs goin on your car
F.D. Sako said:Pretty sure the NT01's are asymmetrical (when the threads are visible), so you shouldn't have any problem rotating them side-to-side. The bigger blocks will always face the outside (sidewall only indicates outside/inside, not rotation direction).
My car's still in the body shop
Everything's done except the hood stripe. They only waited 24hrs between paint and applying the stripes, it bubbled bad. So, we're waiting for the new stripes. Hopefully, I'll get it back on tuesday!

The issue is of course, how much negative camber to run and still have the tire work on the street for everyday driving.
Mad Hatter said:I killed a set of Conti GT-I tires in a few events. Peeled the outer edges with -2.4 camber. looking back I think running them at 36psi hot was a mistake. Should have kept them at 40 me thinks, To stop them rolling over.
I now keep my Dunlop DZ03's at 40 psi hot and they are wearing very even with -2.0 camber
blacksheep-1 said:As I recall we run up to 5 degrees, this of course, is impossible for a street/track car, but that's what it took to use most of the tire in the corners. I don't know what the hot psi is for those tires but we ran on the edge with both the Contis and the Pirellis.
Try the Ford "blue" bar up front and use the smallest bar possible (or none) in the back. The sanctioning bodies make us run a rear bar because that's what the car came with, so we used a real tiny bar we called the "welding rod" in the back.Stock suspension points and kept the Panhard bar setup even though we tried several others, we always gravitated back to the PHB.
