Tire wear

[Hbutton0219]

OK, I couldn't see all the tread. That's what I meant by "as far as I can see".
I'd get an alignment, possibly camber and/or toe is out of spec.

Does my dealership just not know thats its a common thing? We're kinda in rural PA. Only ever seen 2 new mustangs there and I got one

Camber won't were like that unless its very agressive (like -2 or more) or your ripping around the track on a regular basis.

That looks like toe to me, but I can't be sure until I see the whole tire.

I'll make another post tomorrow showing the whole tire and alignment sheet i got. Saying it's all perfect. Told me nothing had to be changed

One thing I found, alignment shops that do performance/race cars seem to be more creative with alignment specs. More experienced.

I can't be spending $1000+ every 8k miles for new tires

P zeros do not last long. It’s not going last like a regular passenger car tire. If you get 20 K out of them, consider yourself very lucky.

That looks normal - a mixture of camber and toe settings does that to the inside shoulders.

You took a Dark Horse and put the camber to zero?

Yes, absolutely. I have found the driving and handling on my 700a limitless. Would highly recommend this to everyone.

The factory camber is pretty conservative already. You just completely neutered an 80k track car. Congratulations.

My advice regarding tire wear is to find either a good performance shop experienced in dialing in alignment based upon wear patterns and coupled with experience and what your particular goals are or an old timer experienced in the same. So track, oval, autocross, weekend hauler etc. Tire wear seems to follow me around WRT new cars. I had one car, brand new, that was wearing the inner tire edge. Car tracked perfectly straight. After 3 shops and high tech machines with printouts showing the car was well within spec I brought it to an old timer who figured it out. Eccentric camber bolts and an alignment designed to preserve tire wear. Problem solved. Techs are trained to follow the bouncing ball, but sometimes the bouncing ball while theoretically correct, doesn't fix the issue. Another car I had, a 92 Caprice cop car look alike wore front tires unevenly. Never could fix it. Wifey got run off the road and hit a guide wire for an electrical pole. Nothing major but body shop asked me if I had tire wear issues, which I did. Turned out the frame of the car was off from the factory. They straightened it and car ran almost 500k miles before I sold it. Go figure. Bottom line, is sometimes you have to think outside the box. Best wishes!

Its not a 80k track car, its a 80k grocery getter with style.

The Dark Horse suspension, and cooling is designed specifically for track use out of the box. The fact that you took a dedicated track car and intentionally reduced its camber to zero tells me you know nothing about suspension or handling. You wouldn't do that to Nissan Altima, let alone an 80k performance car.

I know more than many will ever know. I purchased the exact car to meet my needs.
