Tire wear with negative camber... | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

R Vosari

If you run negative camber (say -1.5 degrees ) in the front on a ball joint adjustable beam, how quickly could you experience noticable tire wear on the inside tire face in street, not track driving?

I think it would only take 5,000 miles (or thereabouts) to see them start to wear, and if you got half the normal life out of them, in a car that only sees 2 or 3 or 5,000 miles a year it would still be several years before replacement came up. And then you get to try a new set...

Well unfortunately I have seen feathering in as little as 1100 miles which would suggest that the tires would be throw-aways at 5000 miles . So I will have to crank back the camber and see how that works.

I wasn't even close! Good information to know, but if you already knew the answer, why did you ask the question?

Well I have exactly 2200 miles of experience with a Beck type car...others have far more so it makes sense to ask
