After my first 'real' event on Gforces,  I have a few questions for other
FWD drivers out 
there on Gforces.    Car = Celica GT, but Neon info is helpful as well. 

After 8 runs on the tires (after 100 miles of heat cycling)  I've noticed
that the inside holographic tread is just about gone, and the outside is
getting there (except for the outer most part of the outer shoulder, which
is worn about as much as the inside blocks)

Set up is 2 degrees of neg camber, and about 45lbs of pressure (245/50 on a
15x7)   My R-1's seemed to like 40lbs..so I bumped up 5lbs with the new
tires. 

Any idea if I bump up the pressure more, will I get less outside and inside
wear?  or is an issue of camber (can go more if I want to)?

Basically,  I'm trying to consider tire wear, as well as performance in the
equation...figuring that an equally wearing tire is doing the most work.

Oh, and they worked pretty well :-)

Per    (hoping there will be an Estock at Peru this upcoming weekend)
