+1. You're obviously enjoying your car! From the looks of it, it seems like (unless i've got my orientation wrong) you're wearing out the outside of your tires pretty fast. You might want to consider adding some negative camber to counteract the wear and sharpen the steering further.

keep fighting the good fight

Car has 100% negative camber setting

Very nice....very very nice.

J08M3 · 08-14-2010, 08:49 AM

Trier Germany · 08-14-2010, 09:07 AM

Those tires have some life left for dry weather

+1. There is plenty of tread left as the wear bars are still below the tread. I got about 15K of miles on my PS2s with a reasonable amount of track time.

For sale? how much

Gladius · 08-14-2010, 08:42 PM

I'm confused. That isn't anywhere near worn out.

This is worn out:

12,000 miles and 6 track days.

That's just reckless!!
You realise that if you have an accident and your tires are worn down to tread depth indicators or past, your insurance will repudiate the claim!!

Read policy wording

My rear tires have less than half a mm left before they reach tread depth indicator, beside there is fuck all traction left on them
