Tire Wear

[Blaze_409]

so is tire wear somthing you can tune out. suppose you have a car that kills the front tires. What could i do to prevent that.(i do have a car that kills the fronts lol)

no thoughts?

First you should try to define where your problem (front tire wear) is coming from.

Is it a FWD car?
If it is RWD, does it understeer a lot? If yes in which conditions (turn-in, apex, exit)
...

Every car has its own problems so every car needs its own costum solution.

Wings, LSD, Suspension and brake balance can be tweaked to have an effect. From personal experience tire wear can be reduced/increased based on set-up. Think you'd have to give more information about car and current set-up for people to give detailed help.

the car is front engine rear wheel drive and it kills the front tires.

i tried shifting brake balance to rear

 

[Blaze_409]

stock it understeers but after tuning it does not understeer unless on old tires. well i think understeer is relative. if i slow down i would never notice understeer.

Ok, which car is it exactly?
And it would help a lot if you could post the complete setup too.

Maybe I have the same car and can replicate your problem to find a solution.

Slow down more before the turn and turn less

Perhaps lower front ride height relative to back. Also increasing positive toe of front tire relative to back could help. Another possibility is to place a softer compound on front relative to back. Plus increasing front wing. Other idea lower lsd braking. Think braking, not got access to PS3 (kids!) right now but third down make lower than 20.

Or maybe slow down more before the turn and turn less.

front is lower, lsd braking is at 15. i will try the toe
