Hey all, im getting so feathering of the outside edge of the front left tyre, is this a toe adjustment issue you reckon? it seems to be the outside of the left and slightly the inside of the right....
what are your alignmetn settings?
usually not toe because toe will self centre
do you perform a lot of tight right hand turns? eg. u-turns or tight roundabouts
lost the paperwork Aaronng.... its stock settings, but bout 2.x - camber...
T-onedc2 i noticed this after hitting wakefield a month or so ago... ive put 200kms on it since...
what else would cause this sort of wear if its not toe?
since "Hitting" wakie ?
that means you still have the semis on ? If thats right , wakie is mostly right hand turns , inner left hand edge of the tyres is the contact patch and wear.
otherwise ?
if Wakefield is travelled in a clockwise direction then most corners are right turns giving same result, don't know the track myselfQuote:

So what you're sayig is the wear is probably as a result of the heavy right hand turn bias of the track?
Dont know what the castor setting is to be honest aaron
i think so. You did have that wear on the day ~
IMO take the tyres off before you ruin them. Then rotate them L/R and then F/R for the next track day
anyone else have any opinions?
Too much Toe in. :thumbsup:
Wear Pattern Name: One-Sided Shoulder Wear 2 - Feathering.
Characteristics: Rapid wear on one tread shoulder. Tread shoulder area has a "scrubbed" or "feathered" appearance. Excessive toe-in will feather the outside shoulder, excessive toe-out will feather the inside shoulder.
Possible Causes: 1. Excessive toe-in or toe-out setting. 2. Consistent, severe cornering. This is a common wear pattern on the near side front tyre on many four-wheel-drive wagons with live front axles.
