As one who is still grumbling because 30 laps destroyed an almost new 
set of FRONT tyres (worth $250.00 each) - I would say FRONT.

Not enough negative camber made the fronts look like my dog had chewed 
up the outside edges - right through to the "canvas".  They get warm.. 
hot... then go "off" - keep pushing and they disappear!


grrrr (at myself)
