Looking for a general setup or advice. Ran it yesterday in a Nissan R89C and had to pit for tires every 21 laps. Racing hards and softs with same results.
 
Less toe, less camber, less brakes, less steering input.

Im getting more even wear and increased pit stop intervals by five laps going with no camber and adjusting toe. Any more input you have is greatly appreciated.

You can increase your gears, to tone down torque multiplication.
Fine tuning your LSD, but on Indy it doesn't play too much effect.
You can drop your downforce lower, but I'm not positive it actually has an effect, but it should. But the sacrifice to corner ability might not be worth it.

Yes, less toe and camber would be ok.Careful with the down force reduction at Indy or you will get more tire wear and hello wall.
