HalfOfZero Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Yeah it's not so advisable for your Daily!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pev Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 had them on all hubs front and back, front wore down quicker obviously but back still was stupidly quick, and cornering in the wet wasnt the best either,to be honest they look good, but like half of zero said, they're no good for something you use often unless you can be bothered to keep fitting then removing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom Warner Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Only reason why I need then is because rear wheels catch on arch and I've already rolled them ? any other suggestions Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfOfZero Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Lower profile tyres?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have -3deg on my fronts and they last a fair old while, replaced them last October, still going. -1deg on rear and they lasted 4+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom Warner Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'm on 13" inch Wellers so I carnt reli have low profile tyres , I only want 1.5 degrees of camber on the rear just enough to taper the top in ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have -2.5 rear & -1.5 front.. tyres are fine after about 9 months... barely any inside wear. Then again I had the tracking done with the camber which is where many go wrong!I do agree with handling, over 80 and it feels floaty and in the wet it can step out that little more.I use it as my daily like it though so it's not that bad!

DarkStryder360 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Haha I wouldn't do 80 in the wet anyway! Madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfOfZero Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I need to go down hill to get 80... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) Any one doing 80 in the wet is a moron.Camber doesnt kill tyres, toe does. Yes camber will give you uneven wear but, the tyres will last at least 90% as long as normal. Edited November 1, 2011 by Deadmetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom Warner Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 So it won't effect tyres that much that's a bonus just need someone to help me fit them now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pev Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 my nearside rear hub was all worn and cracked and stuff off camber too, its not just the tyres what wear down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max West-York Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I had shims on the back at -1.5 with whatever the natural camber was on top of that; so probably between 3 and 4 degrees negativeNo sign of excessive tyre wear whatsoever and mine was driven daily every day of the week with them on for probably half a yearJust sold the wheels that were on it and tread was still even side to side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 So you've never done 80 on a motorway during or after a slight shower, I'm not on about flash flooding or anything!!Rarely go over 70 on the motorway.@Pev, if your hub was screwed, thats what caused the tyre ware, not the camber shims.
