Camber with Modern Tires

[jkolb]

Lotus recommended 1 degree front and 2 degrees rear camber for the 26r. As this recommendation was made for bias ply race tires, is there another recommendation for today's radial ply race tires?

Thanx

I run around minus 1.5 front and minus 1 rear

Can you define what you mean by modern tyres? Yokohama's for instance like at around 3 deg neg f+r . But it depends on how your car is set up and what you're doing with it.

I just mean a DOT legal radial with tread.

...

Yokohama A021R, A048 and A032-R are still roadlegal...

The setting i gave before for my setup is with Yoko A-032R previously and Dunlop DZ3 currently both in 175 /60 x 13 size.

The front could use more static negative camber given the roll geometry but my class racing regulations allow a maximum of minus 2 degrees static setting. As a result i overload a little and wear out quicker the front outer edges more than is desirable

Hi Jerry,

This is an assumption based on your question but why are your looking to run radials ?
