I ran putnam park on sticker Continental g5000 tires. 285s on a 10" rims, square.
The camber up front is -2.2 or -2.3 degrees up front. This track runs clockwise and is known to be hard on the drivers front tire .
It was my first time at this track and the first 2 or 3 sessions I got it sorted out and it was hard laps for 2 more session on day 1 and 5 hard sessions on day 2. I did not rotate tires at all. Temps were within 5 degrees across the inner, middle and outer treads with the inner being the warmest ( front and rear ! )
Upon close inspection of all 4 tires I can say the rear and the drivers front all wore pretty damn even across the wear indicators. The passenger front wore the inside tread all the way down so the dimple tread indicator is now gone. My toe is zero. Max caster, but even .
What does that mean? Car felt planted pretty well. I do push it to the grip limits. I can occasionally feel the rear want to drift just a bit. I don't feel any push through the corners.
Suspension is stock shocks with some ford springs that are a tiny bit lower and tiny bit stiffer than stock. Stock sway bars. Rear has Boss 302s lower control arms and the variable 3 position rear mounts. I was running the arms in the lowest spot . that put then at about a 9 degree angle. I am headed to mid ohio in a week and a half and i moved them to the middle hole which is about 4 degree tilt.
What does this wear indicate and how can I fix it ?
Thanks TMO!
