Should I Expect Noticeable Tyre Wear From A Bit Of Camber And Toe?

[sammus]

Hey all,

Welly welly well... i just installed whiteline swaybars and i'm very happy with the results.

Now, I am getting an alignment tomorrow and I was planning on having them try to get as close to SK's recommended settings as possible:

Front Camber -1.00

Front Caster 7.00

SAI 9.00

Front Toe 0.00

Rear Camber -0.5

Rear Toe 2.00 mm in on each side

However, I am worried about the wear that these settings will induce on the inner part of my tyres because i'm poor and don't wanna be up for more tyres. Can anyone give me an estimation on what I should expect in the next 6 months/year with the above settings in terms of tyre wear?

Cheeeeeeeeers

rear will depend on angle once the car has power thru the drivetrain and it 'squats' unless ur hwy crusing this will be an issue, with ur car relatively stock u wont tear rear tyres apart ...

with such little camber you wont have that much different expectations i wouldnt think. Hopefully some one with an r32 can offer you some help. The problem would most likely also be more severe on wider tyres

Hi Sam, it depends on where you drive and how you drive. If you drive like a little old lady and only on the freeway/highway then you will get a little more inside tyre wear. If you drive like a maniac, don't slow down for corners and seek out winding roads (avoid the freeways) then you will wear out the outside of the tyres.

If you drive like a normal Skyline owner (sporty, briskly) on a mixture of roads, then the tyres will wear perfectly. Which is why I recommend those settings for the average Skyline driver.

This thead rocks!!

I have just installed the GB suspension kit and had the car setup to the reccomended settings in my R32 GTS-t.

I was searching for the exact same answer!

BTW, the car handles AWESOMELY with everything installed and setup!!!!!! Thanks SK

I use 2 degrees negative camber on the front and drive fairly hard but I think the highway km's I do have contributed to some inner tyre wear. That said it's not outrageous. The tyres need replacing anyway.
