Calling you tire/suspension experts (score: 1): Author: Henry Frye <henry@henryfrye.com>; Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2004 07:03:46 -0400; I have been seeing tire wear on my TR4 vintage racer that indicates to me I can improve something in the front end setup, but I can't figure out what to do.

You might conclude this means too much negative camber, but tire temperatures don't seem to indicate that. Is; /html/fot/2004-04/msg00144.html (8,579 bytes)

I get some serious understeer as the tires heat up resulting in the front end sliding/scrubbing in the carousel at TWS. I think this causes my tire wear. I rotate more now.
