Check out the pattern of the rubber on my RA1's. I did DE's at VIR, Watkins Glen and Summit point since flipping them mid season, so have about 400 miles on track, 15 heat cycles since flipping. These are the fronts....the rears are much more uniform without a buildup of "worms". The buildup is on the inside edges. I'm guessing that it's indicating that I need more camber but I'm maxed out already. Ideas?
BTW, total mileage on track with these tires since new in March is about 1700 with 61 heat cycles & no sign of cording anywhere yet. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

To read the tire, you have to do it without the buildup. That means do a lap, at speed, without cool down, and stay on line. Bring it into the pits and stop on pit road to check the tires. As soon as you get the buildup, you can't tell anything.
A 914 with anything other than a crazy motor will not kill tires. We get around 1500 track miles on a set in a race car with a 3.0L motor. |
