Like Josh said it all about the whole set up.
Since I run 11" wide slicks up front and they don't like a lot of camber my set up is going to be different. Tire pyrometer readings vary as little as 5 degrees inside to outside when up to temp of 120 degrees. Lots of caster makes them big tires a real bear to turn. If I remember right John Rogers runs slicks too. |
