Yep, in about 65 track days on my 1LEs ive only ever corded insides (both F) slightly once, due to running 3 days on very abrasive track. And that's with even higher camber PLUS a slight toe out...

I drive mine on streets and to and from, usually pretty hefty distances with no wear issues, albeit it is not a DD. I would easily go with 2.0F without worrying too much on a DD car. Just my...

Make sure you understand what the tech requirements are for the series. 1 piece, or 2 piece? What rating? Etc. Go by their official documentation. No point blowing more money than necessary, or...

Unfortunately not, as Sebring is way too far for me, albeit i know it is an epic venue and hard on cars. That may indeed explain why your alignment was out of whack. A buddy ran his C5 race car there...

Well, your prior alignment was all over the place, but that in itself shouldn't really lead to tires cording due to hiway travel imo. I get about 5000 miles combined including track duty and apart...

Ya, abrasive track will cord them. That's what happened to me, but only once. Never had one cord just from DD. By and large camber wont cord a tire, but excessive toe will make fast work of it. I am...

Some of us change oil more often than once a year and i would advise you: so should you.

I drive a $47k CAD Camaro with zero mods. My track budget is $20k per season. If i can save 50% on a maintenance item without cutting down on quality i will surely do it. Cheers!

0w is a winter rating. Yes it is lower viscosity, which excels in low winter temps, but in summer time, it is not just the speed of flow that counts, but...

I believe it was right after, when folks questioned 0w40 vs 5w40 and hence they both addressed that very specific question.

Lest we forget, the original factory fill was 5w30 for 2 or 3 yrs...

My key point is, there is virtually zero difference in how 0w and 5w will protect a motor at start up, unless it is minus 35C. While w40 will protect it equally at high temp like track duty. So,...

Cold start at minus 20C is very different than a cold start at say plus 15C :) And to your point, 5W30 is authorized for street use. But not only that, as 15W50 is mandated for ZLE track use only....
