    Nice! She's taking a PhD level class to see if she's ready to commit to the full requirements of becoming Dr. Pizza

    Very nice! I'm pretty free this semester so let me know if you still want to meet up at some point. I'd love to see your red rocket

    I'll move all this to my build thread in case the next owner of the red rocket is wondering why the inside of the lf fender liner is bright red



    Hell yeah! I love these damn tires. On my 2nd set already. My last set was still performing great, but certainly not going to make it to the 50k mile warranty after spending so much time sideways and a track day thrown in.
    I'm pissed about that warranty... Did you know it reduces to 25,000 miles if your wheels are staggered?

    That's reasonable though; not being able to rotate usually nets you a few thousand less miles out of a set of tires. This is why I don't run a staggered setup.
    Even rotating, high performance tires wouldn't really last much past 30k miles on our ZHPs anyway... I think 35k was the highest I got out of a set before the insides were so worn out that it had to be replaced. I tend to run a milder alignment setup that should net me pretty good wear.

    That's the one ^

    BMW's alignment specs call for a lot of camber and toe in the rear, which eats the inside edge of the rear tires. I'm running square setup, -1.5 camber at each corner, and nearly zero toe. My tires would last forever if they weren't sliding sideways all the time!

    My alignment is even less aggressive than that... -1 camber in the rear with nearly zero toe as well. It still ​wears out on the inside edges far before the rest of the tread. I estimate I can probably get another 10k out of the set easily if I didn't have so much camber wear.

    That's odd. What we call camber wear is usually due to toe + camber, but you don't see the wear without the toe. Are your RTAB's OE rubber? I know that, at least with rubber bushings, you want to have some static toe-in as the rolling resistance on the tire will pull the alignment to toe-out if you have rubber bushings with some give.
