Talking about wear: I've ran through a set of Hoosier TAP tires after about 50 laps and two heavy autocrosses. I needed more camber up front and have have since added it. Corded the shoulders too early. The guide from Hoosier says the TAPs like more tire pressure so I was running the recommended 42-43psi but... results up front appeared fine with it however I think they running 36-37psi better. For the rears, corded the middle. I had too much pressure and figured about 31-32psi to be better. I have a new set on the car now, with more F&R camber and adjusted tire pressures so will have to see how that goes.

Thank you, good reference points for overall grip too. Appreciate that.
Real good info on pressures and wear. 50 lpas +2 autox seems like 2 full track days. That's fast wear by 200 street tire standart!
