Looking at my tires, I noticed that the outer edge is wearing off more quicker than the inner. A few people I spoke to recommended a negative camber adjustment of .5 degrees. Apparently a lot of today's performance cars come with a pretty high negative camber set from the factory. This camber adjustment would also provide better traction on the track.

Is this something anyone has tried? How much labor is it in terms of man hours?

 

ek1, when at the track you want to have a quality pyrometer such as those from

Take her out for a few laps then pull into the false grid/pit lane WITHOUT COOLING HER OFF (read: NO cool down lap) and have someone measure the outer, center and innermost tread of the tire on all four corners. Do this a few times and take averages to get an idea as you want to adjust things for even tire temps across the tread. Hope this helps. Note that different tracks can alter the results to some degree and is standard part of test-n-tuning a car.

Of course everyone has their 'rules' per se:

This pyrometer method makes sense, though I am wondering how do you derive the amount of camber adjustment from differences in tire surface temperatures. Is it more like saying "Hey, the outer part of the tire is still hotter, so it's working harder, so let's make the camber more negative", then putting some laps in and measuring the temp again?

 

Basically, yes. Ask Bentley as they probably have data to help you given spec tire.
