Novice autocrosser here, and one on a college student's budget. For my birthday, a friend got me a set of very nice tires. That was three autocross events ago... Just 12-15 runs. I run 48-50 psi fron

Any idea what your front camber and toe are? I used to autocross on the AVSi's, and didn't have a problem with the outside wearing off. Got a picture of the wear? 50psi front sounds a bit high. If yo

This sounds pretty familiar ; -) It's "novice driver wear". It's caused by "fast in, slow out" driving. "Fast in" means overdriving the tires in the turn, and having to scrub off all the speed to gi

Oh man do I know about Novice Tread wear! I chew the hell out of my tires from fast in and slow out. I did get a new stiffer suspension that helped prevent rollover but general rapid wear on the tire

What sorta alignment are you running? Can Hondas change front camber legally in stock? Those pressures sound a little high, but the sidewal rollover is the main thing to watch. You want them to roll

As a data point, I ran my Miata's AVSis at 39/36 on a concrete surface, after coming down from a 45/42 start. I have no idea what are "correct" pressures, but didn't see excess rollover and was reaso

Jake , I take it on face value that you are driving aggressively, based solely upon your current points standing. Having established that caveat, I'll offer that you MAY be trying to carry too much s

You got me, Mike. As soon as that green flag goes down, my del Sol turns into the Kelly's Seven, only without the light part, the good handling part, or the skilled drivers part. Sorry, James. My fri

Adding to everyone elses excellent replies... 1. Brand new tires have a tendency to wiggle more on the tread blocks which can generate heat quicker and knock off chunks of rubber much sooner... you m

Here's another question? Have you tried a larger front swaybar? Though it's "Supposed to" increase understeer, in cars with soft springs a front bar (and stiffer shocks) may keep the body roll from

You are correct, Steve. I just looked at mine: "This side faces outward". Great dry road tire, only fair in wet, very reasonably priced, and while discontinued, they are still available in many size
