They fell off 4 seconds a lap, it was a warm day 70-75 deg in Florida

Thanks for all your input

Yep....way more camber I still think your pressure is way too low.

Not enough camber for these heavy pigs. Get it to 3+ front and 2+ rear, zero the toe in the front and a .03-.06 toe in in the rear.

I drive on the street, and to and from track, that is way too much neg camber for street
I think I’m going to go back to regular G3’s and run 305/30/19s up front
I never had a problem with the G3’s at 2deg neg camber
I’m going to flip tires, try to get 1 more track day out of them, thx for reply’s

Excellent to the cords, could be something with the track or pressure issues you may be experiencing.

Also great till they are down to cords.
Alignment specs
Camber: -3F & -2R
Toe 0F & .2R

As for air pressure. I found starting my first 20 Min section at 30psi and then blending off the air after my first time out to target 36psi hot works best. When I start at 26 like others I tend to drive too hard prior to the pressure coming up and the insides cord faster, than when I start at 30psi.... I found I get an entire extra track day just starting out at a higher pressure. Im sure I giving up a little grip on my first run but its worth it to me

I have mine set at the recommended Front negative camber of 2.75 and am getting uneven wear. Outside half of the tire is wearing much faster. Can you get over 3.0 negative on the stock ZLE suspension?

Thanks!

With camber plates and SPL rear camber and toe rods I'm now at -3.5F, -2.5R, zero toe, and track wear is even across the tire finally. I also have a true square setup so I can rotate all 4 wheels.

Yes the ZLE has a front strut top mount that you can rotate for extra camber. You will need to get another alignment done since rotating this piece will change the toe which would negatively impact front tire wear if done by itself without another alignment. There are directions in the performance supplement.

Thanks. I rotated the them and had it aligned to 2.75 neg in the front. I was just wondering if you can get more negative camber from the stock setup. One poster suggested camber plates. I am still getting uneven tire wear at 2.75 negative camber.

Yes there's more adjustment range available on your car then. The two strut knuckle nuts on each front corner need to be loosened and backed almost all of the way off then hammer on the bolt to release each hidden spline then push the top of the wheel/tire to max the camber and tighten them back up. Use the adjustment hole with the appropriate bolt from a hardware store to remove a bit of camber from one side before tightening if it doesn't initially match on both sides.
