adjustable toe arm question

[Ca_laurier]

umm toe won't wear as fast but the position of the wear will kill the life period of your tire. still from experience it takes a while for toe to wear (depending how out it is) camber wear will wear faster. Now if your toe is out 1.0 of a degree thats a whole different story, but i am talking about 0.1 degree out in toe. which in the back is about how much it goes out, give or take a fee thousands of a degree. thats with a 2 inche drop... but who here stays that high

did you take physics in highschool? just think about it.


tires moving forward...

if they're like this | |-----| |
then the rolling resistance will be minimal...they will be rolling close to true while going forward and will not be "scrubbing" against the ground


if they're like this / /----\ \
then there will be much more rolling resistance because the tires will be trying to go in their respective directions instead of going forward, which is no doubt where the car will be trying to go


it's simple science man...just think about it



a more aggressively cambered tire will wear unevenly and faster than a tire that is close to flat against the ground, but a tire that's not straight is going to wear out exponentially faster than one that is aimed straight (~0 toe)
