What ZLE track alignment (or other item) to prevent inner cording? - Page 2

Has anyone figured out how to keep the rear toe from changing? BMR toe rods?

I had my alignment changed to a more street friendly one with even wear. I know I’m giving up some time on the road course with that alignment; however, my 3Rs have lasted 3k street miles and 6 HPDE days 4-5 20min sessions per day. They look like I could get another day out of them.

I think in the end it’s a balancing act. You can have max performance and cord the heck out of tires or you can give up a couple seconds on the track and get some longer life. My pockets just aren’t deep enough to have to buy new tires every track weekend.

Yes they help but still require adjustment. At least with these you don't have to replace the TTY bolts after 1+ alignments, so faster alignments and no extra cost for the bolts.

This is what I was thinking, have the zle gm track alignment right now. Sounds like dialing the camber back a little to maybe 2.2 will help with this issue. Like you said I'd rather give up a little time and grip with no inside cording issues. Other than the cording, the rest of the tire seems to be wearing fairly even at 2.7
