Please remind my forgetful brain, what besides negative camber can cause
extreme inside edge wear on a tire? How does caster or toe affect the inside
edge?
==============================
Excessive (outsied of factory specs) camber _should_ not cause extra tire
wear. Modern radial tire carcass designs should allow the tread face to
remain flat and fully in contact with the road surface even with a lot of
negative camber.
Now, add some excessive toe out setting to that camber and you do put the
tire "up on edge", so to speak, and cause noticable inside edge wear. BTDT
and have nearly completely worn out a set of the D60s in just a year and I
haven't even autocrossed on them.
Oh well, it's more fun to drive on the street and the Dunlops are fairly
cheap.
