Street tire option for track alignment
Hi everyone, I track my car often so I have track alignment. I live close to company so I ride bike to work. Since this is my only car, I have two sets of wheels and tires. One for street and the other for track. I swap them at home before and after track days
My car is at 20K miles now and the inner edge of stock runflats is close to being bald. I'm not sure how many miles are on those runflats but it won't be long before I need to change them. I guess the uneven wear is caused by the large camber. Is there any sort of street tires that is OK with large front camber? If not, maybe a better option is to buy a second car for the street? Or buy some cheap street tires? Another question is I don't like stock runflats because they are noisy. I heard all the runflats are noisy. Do you have any suggestions for some quieter summer street tires?Pilot Sport 4S seems to be very popular. Thanks! |

Every tire will wear that way when you run extra camber on the street. I would just buy new tires that you like and move on. If you buy another car to drive to work, what will that cost? Surely more than the 1 set of tires you have had to buy in 2 or 3 years?

Just have your stock tires flip mounted to get more life out of the other side of the tire.

Just figure that stock tires for SS are directional so I probably shouldn't flip mount them :(
