I was using Michelin PS4S tires with -1.5 camber on the front and destroyed a driver front in about 100 track miles. I was running max around 37-38 PSI and still delaminated/chunked the outside shoulder.
I recently switched to a set of Trofeo R tires. These call for 32 PSI hot. I now have camber set at -2.75 on the front each side with 0 toe after installing EVS ball joints.
I ran 1 track day, 110 miles with no issue and wear looking good. Total street mileage about 350 miles, basically to and from track and a few other short trips around town.
I just started a track day, ambient temp 63 F. I ran 2 warm up laps, 7 hot laps, and a cooldown lap. Everything felt fine. Front PSI measured 35 PSI on the passenger side, 36 on PSI on the driver side. I planned to air down before next session.
Driver front looks great. Passenger front is destroyed on the INSIDE shoulder. Every other tire looks fine. See photo.
Question- what should I do here? I can’t rely on the car if I’m losing tires this quickly. Maybe I hit something that damaged the tire this time, but I’m not really sure. Does anyone have any advice?
Added driver side to show the difference in wear.
265/30R19 Trofeo R tires (OEM size) on Honda forged wheels.
Track is I29 speedway. Lap time today was 1’47.52.
