| Post subject: | Help to reduce inner tire wear |
New to T3 and I need some setup advice to reduce inner tire wear for my T3. I run Sweep EXP 30 and is wearing out on the inside too quickly. Ran only 5 packs and the tires are almost useless. Currently running 10.5T with kid setup, except for shock oil front 400 and rear 350 and front camber 1.5 degrees and rear 2 degrees and 0 degree toe front and kid toe rear. Track is fairly large with a long straight and 2 big sweeping turns. What baffles me is even though the sweeping turns are towards the "right" direction, my right tires are wearing quicker than the left ones, but not by a big margin, which doesn't make sense to me. I am currently happy with my kid setup but would want to reduce the inner tire wear. Any help for setup advice is very much appreciated. Thanks! |

try the Sweep EXP36's i think they are getting too hot , what is your track temp ?? i run the same tyres here in Holland and mine last over 400 laps before showing signs of being near to death |

If it wears inside more, then you have excessive camber on those wheels. Try reducing the camber to have maximum contact patch, and even the wear of the tire inside vs. outside. |

if you have understeer and a lot of ackermann (if you are driving the sweepers at full lock), you will be dragging the inside tire around the sweeper, also if you are running the std driveshafts the chatter on the inside wheel helps eat the tire. |

Hm, that makes a lot of sense. It is my driving that is causing the wear? Or should I set up my car to have less understeer in the sweeper? Any tips for good sweeper speed? Thanks! |
